White House Releases New Report on Sustainable Chemistry
Chemistry is the foundation of a competitive U.S. manufacturing sector and is at the forefront of the transition to a low-carbon economy. Sustainable chemistry can help us harness renewable energy sources, reduce demand for energy, and implement a more circular economy. The new NSTC: Sustainable Chemistry Report emphasizes the importance of collaboration between government and the private sector to build a strong foundation for future research in sustainable chemistry.
NEW Life Cycle Assessment and Techno-Economic Analysis Training Resources
DOE has published a repository of resources to help users assess emerging technologies, determining their potential costs and environmental impacts. A centerpiece in the collection is the Techno-economic Energy & Carbon Heuristic Tool for Early-State Technologies, or TECHTEST. TECHTEST aids users in estimating potential energy, carbon, and cost impacts of a new technology in a streamlined spreadsheet tool that integrates life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA) methods. TECHTEST also allows a user to compare a new technology to its commercial benchmark. The repository includes other strategic analysis tools, as well as short tutorial videos that explain basic concepts of LCA and TEA in the context of emerging technologies.
