The Industrial Energy Transition and Decarbonization (IETD) Consortium (formerly the CO2 Capture & Conversion (CO2CC) Program) is a membership-directed consortium, launched in January 2010, whose members are involved in developing, monitoring and utilizing the “state-of-the-art” in technological progress and commercial implementation of carbon dioxide capture and conversion.

The program’s objective is to document and assess technically and commercially viable options for the capture/clean-up/utilization of CO2 and its mitigation via energy efficiency gains which meaningfully address “decarbonization” and the challenges posed by CO2 life cycle and overall sustainability issues.
Included in the program’s scope are:
- Global decarbonization efforts towards net zero or negative carbon emissions
- Industrial process technology shifts towards renewable, circular and sustainable practices
- CO2 capture and/or separation
- CO2 concentration, purification and/or other post-treatment
- CO2 utilization/conversion (e.g., CO2 as a feedstock) for use as a fuel or intermediate, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
- Energy requirements (and other costs), including energy efficiency
- Industrial process improvements and energy saving initiatives which mitigate CO2 production
- Bottom-line financial (income) impacts resulting from CO2 reduction programs
- Life-Cycle Analyses (LCAs) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) of chemical value chains
- GHG/CO2 regulation and “cap and trade” developments
By the direction of the member companies (through balloting and other interactive means) and operated by TCGR, the program delivers weekly monitoring communications via email (twice per week), three techno-economic reports (highly referenced and peer reviewed) and scheduled meetings of members (either in-person or via webinar). Access to deliverables is exclusive to members.
In addition to the program deliverables, TCGR works with members to identify and foster competitive advantage and opportunity. This value-added relationship, along with active participation by the membership, leads to improved (or unique) external R&D and commercial investment possibilities.
Members maintain strong relationships with contact points (“liaisons”) and benefit from preferred communications between themselves. Companies which have been involved in the program since initiation include:
| -Braskem -Chevron -Clariant/Süd-Chemie -Dow Chemical -Evonik-Degussa |
-ExxonMobil -King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) -Mitsubishi Chemical (via the Kaiteki Institute) -National Institute for Clean and Low Carbon Energy (NICE), PRC -Reliance |
-Repsol -Suncor -Total SA -UOP, LLC |
