The Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) received a $999,990 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development) to develop a "Humanities-Driven Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) Approach for Student Training in Carbon Capture and Conversion." The project, running from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027, will leverage humanities and social science methodologies alongside advanced computational chemistry techniques to examine how societal considerations intersect with the life cycles of carbon capture and conversion technologies. This interdisciplinary research aims to inform the development of these critical clean energy technologies while considering potential social impacts.
