NIST Sorbent Measurements for Direct Air Capture (DAC) of Carbon Dioxide

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

The most recent climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that it is likely that mean global temperatures will exceed 1.5°C above preindustrial levels unless dramatic changes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are implemented. The direct removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (direct air capture, DAC) is a crucial part of the overall GHG emissions mitigation strategy. DAC is particularly relevant in achieving net-zero emission of carbon dioxide to offset ethically "hard-to-avoid" carbon sou...

Grantor Contact InformationWilliam Sean McGivern, Phone: 301.975.8705Grantor Emailsean.mcgivern@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
