| Abstract Scope |
Decarbonization in the energy-intensive industries is essential to meet the new emission targets by reducing the carbon footprints. The goal worldwide is to achieve new decarbonization targets to meet net-zero emissions by 2050. The power sector (39%) and transportation sector (34%) generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. Solutions that reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint within the industry, new technologies are needed to help reinvigorate existing industries while supporting the growth and development of clean energy technologies in the United States. In this regard, new directions in development of an innovative metal production concepts that associate with increase in net energy productivity and lower carbon footprint such as in-situ production of lightweight composites and alloys are discussed. Also discussed a low temperature electrochemical intensified modular production of lightweight metals achieving energy-efficient processing by reducing process steps and developing alternate production pathways. |
