There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: NREL’s Electrons to Molecules Initiative: Electricity-Driven Processes for Future Generation of Renewable Hydrogen, Net-Zero Fuels, Chemicals and Materials
Interconverting electrical and chemical energy efficiently and cost effectively provides a massive opportunity to generate renewable hydrogen, create net-zero fuels and chemicals, capture and convert CO2, and create innovative sustainable industrial processes.
NREL is exploring the use of renewable, affordable electricity as the driving force for the conversion of low-energy molecules – such as water and carbon dioxide – to generate higher-value, higher-energy chemicals, materials, and fuels as end-use products or as a means toward energy storage. This combination of producing goods and materials more sustainably with end-of-useful-life circularity in mind will drive a more sustainable future economy capable of meeting the world’s needs in a manner that leaves the environment and the planet healthy for generations to come.
All are welcome to join the CCFEWG. Once you have registered to join, the link to the seminar will be sent to you.
