MAY 5, 2022

The IEEE Board of Directors formed an ad hoc committee on climate change in February to coordinate its response to the global threat. Why should IEEE be involved in combating climate change? Why should members care about climate change? Rahman: Climate change is an existential threat to humanity.

Ethanol production is one of the least costly known applications of CO2 capture and, to date, the cost of capturing CO2 has been cited as one of the major barriers to CCS. A US Department of Energy supported project is capturing and storing around 1 Mt per year of CO 2 from an Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) plant in Illinois.

Our approach relies on this gradual loss as a way to store a power plant’s CO 2 underground rather than emitting it into the atmosphere. Our planned demonstration is the first attempt at proving that we can simultaneously mitigate greenhouse gas induced climate change and generate clean baseload power using geothermal energy.
