A multi-year project headed by NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering is working to fundamentally change how U.S. chemical manufacturing operates.
The Tandon School of Engineering at New York University (NYU) is leading an effort to fundamentally change how the U.S. chemical industry operates, according to an article from the IEEE Spectrum. The multi-institutional initiative, which involves over a dozen U.S. universities and national laboratories, will reportedly be known as “Decarbonizing Chemical Manufacturing Using Sustainable Electrification,” or DC-MUSE.
The project's objective is to make the chemical industry, particularly petrochemicals, greener and more sustainable, especially in the face of increasing environmental regulations. Regulations aimed at achieving zero-carbon greenhouse emissions may threaten “up to 12% of all US exports ($220 billion) if the U.S. chemical industry is not able to decarbonize its processes,” according to the IEE Spectrum. DC-Muse reportedly aims to develop technologies and strategies to help the chemical industry move from thermal-based manufacturing to electricity-based manufacturing processes.
Many facilities handle dangerous processes and products on a daily basis. Keeping everything under control demands well-trained people working with the best equipment.
