Webinar: Applying Life Cycle Assessment in Project Design
In this webinar, Carbon Solutions Research Engineer Kat Sale presented an overview of how we apply Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to support federal, industrial, and community partners. The presentation covered the fundamentals of LCA and showed how it’s used to evaluate emissions, co-benefits, and the full-system impacts of decarbonization strategies.
In this recorded webinar, Carbon Solutions and the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub explore how to reduce investment barriers to large-scale carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCUS) around industrial carbon hubs.
Speakers: Marcos Miranda – Carbon Solutions, Elizabeth Moore – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
This session focuses on the concrete and cement sector, using spatial-economic modeling to identify cost-effective strategies for infrastructure buildout and deployment at scale.

NECTAR: A Rapid Decision Support Tool for Negative CO Emission Hybrid Energy System Development and Analysis
The Negative CO₂ Emission Transition Roadmap (NECTAR) was developed as a decision support tool to facilitate the strategic deployment of Direct Air Capture with Carbon Storage (DACCS) and other carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies.
Design Development and System Integration Design Study for an Advanced Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion Power Plant
CONSOL Energy is designing an advanced carbon-negative power plant that runs on waste coal and biomass, with the potential to be demonstrated in the next 5–10 years and achieve market penetration by 2030. CONSOL previously completed a conceptual design and pre-FEED study for a ~300 MWnet advanced power plant using pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) technology. This project will advance the end-to-end development of the advanced PFBC technology, including plant design, host site development, environmental considerations, CO2 disposition strategy, energy equity, techno-economic analysis, and lifecycle assesment. The project will provide a roadmap for decision-makers, investors, engineers, construction contractors, and other stakeholders to build this first-of-a-kind powerplant.
