Electrification to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions is essential to mitigate climate change. However, a substantial portion of our manufacturing and transportation infrastructure will be difficult to electrify and/or will continue to use carbon as a key component, including areas in aviation, heavy-duty and marine transportation, and the chemical industry. In this Roadmap, we explore how multidisciplinary approaches will enable us to close the carbon cycle and create a circular economy by defossilizing these difficult-to-electrify areas and those that will continue to need carbon. We discuss two approaches for this: developing carbon alternatives and improving our ability to reuse carbon, enabled by separations. Furthermore, we posit that co-design and use-driven fundamental science are essential to reach aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets.
电气化以减少或消除温室气体排放对于缓解气候变化至关重要。然而,我们大部分的制造和运输基础设施将难以实现电气化,并且/或者将继续使用碳作为关键成分,包括航空、重型和海上运输以及化学工业等领域。在本路线图中,我们探讨多学科方法如何使我们能够通过使这些难以电气化的领域以及那些仍将需要碳的领域脱碳,来闭合碳循环并创建循环经济。我们讨论了两种实现此目的的方法:开发碳替代品以及通过分离提高我们再利用碳的能力。此外,我们认为协同设计和以使用为驱动的基础科学对于实现积极的温室气体减排目标至关重要。
