This book, the first of its kind in industrial decarbonization, presents the research and development efforts in materials and processes for industrial decarbonization, including but not limited to chemical, cement, iron/steel, paper/pulp, building and other industries.
Materials and processes for industrial decarbonization, including CO2 management technologies, are being developed to reduce the carbon footprint for CO2-intensive industries, including power plants, the chemical and refining industries, and construction/building sectors. This book, the first of its kind in industrial decarbonization, presents the research and development efforts in materials and processes for industrial decarbonization, including but not limited to chemical, cement, iron/steel, paper/pulp, building and other industries.• Discusses global efforts to decarbonize industrial processes through continuous advances in the development of novel thermo-, electro- and photocatalytic materials and processes for decarbonization at or beyond the R&D stage.• Presents life cycle assessment (LCA) and technical-economic analyses (TEA) to measure environmental impacts and determine the feasibility of advanced decarbonization technologies.• Introduces the industrial decarbonization market, focusing on the market-based strategies to reduce carbon emissions.• Outlines challenges of the development of advanced materials for CCUS technologies.• Discusses computational modelling work with respect to carbon mitigation materials.Featuring expert experience from academia, national labs, and industry, this book guides readers in chemical, process, construction, and related industries to confidently design and specify decarbonization technology-related materials and methods.
About the Author: Qingxu (Bill) Jin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU) and the Principal Investigator of the Resilient, Intelligent, Sustainable & Energy-efficient (RISE) Infrastructure Materials Lab. His research focuses on the decarbonization of construction materials and the development of advanced infrastructure materials with enhanced durability, adaptability, and multifunctionality, particularly for extreme environments. Dr. Jin earned his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, with a minor in Materials Science. He also holds dual M.Sc. degrees in Civil Engineering and Natural Resources & Environment from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He previously served as a guest researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). A passionate advocate for STEM education, Dr. Jin is an American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Excellence in Engineering Education (ExCEEd) Fellow, a STEM Ambassador for MSU, and a National Science Foundation (NSF) CMMI Game Changer Academies (C-GCA) Panel Fellow.

Dr. Chen has successfully commercialized over 20 innovative and sustainable products aimed at decarbonization across various markets. She currently serves on the industrial technical advisory board for several Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Transportation (DOT) funded programs, focusing on decarbonization in the chemical industry and advanced electricity heating technologies. Dr. Chen has published more than 30 peer-reviewed journal papers and has filed over 400 global patent applications, with approximately 150 granted patents. She has delivered numerous technical presentations and invited talks to both industry and academia. Dr. Chen has received nine prestigious national and international individual awards from organizations such as the American Chemical Society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers, Society of Global Chinese Chemical Engineers, and Society of Women Engineers. Her patented decarbonization technologies have won 10 global technology awards, including the R&D 100 Award, Edison Award, and Business Intelligence Group Award. Dr. Chen earned her PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan, U.S.A., and her Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University, China.Fan Shi is a Senior scientist at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) under the U.S. Department of Energy in Pittsburgh, USA. Prior to joining NETL, he served as a Technical Fellow at Leidos. Dr. Shi has edited two books and authored or co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed articles focused on the recovery of critical metals, energy conversion and decarbonization technologies. He is also an inventor on 10 patents. His research projects earned him two R&D 100 Awards in 2020 and 2021, and a Bronze Edison Award in 2022. Dr. Shi has established academic and industrial connections globally in the field of industrial decarbonization, facilitating his work on related publications. He holds a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and is a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS), AIChE, and the North American Catalysis Society.Dushyant Shekhawat is the team supervisor for the Reaction Engineering team at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), U.S. Department of Energy, Morgantown, USA. His research focuses on fuel processing, reaction engineering, plasma and microwave-assisted catalysis, and energy systems. He co-developed a pyrochlore-based reforming catalyst, licensed to Pyrochem Catalyst Company, and won the Federal Laboratory Consortium 2011 Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer. With over 200 publications, seven book chapters, three books, and 15 patents, Dr. Shekhawat serves as associate editor for the Catalysis book series and has guest-edited for journals like Catalysis Today and Fuel. A registered Professional Engineer in West Virginia, Dr. Shekhawat holds a B.S. from the University of Minnesota and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University.
