Industrial Energy Transition and Decarbonization (IETD) Consortium

Now Introducing IETD Start-up Membership Level

The Industrial Energy Transition and Decarbonization (IETD) Consortium (formerly the CO₂ Capture and Conversion (CO₂CC) Program) is a membership-directed consortium, launched in January 2010, whose members are seeking technological and commercial progress for pathways that reduce, capture, utilize, and/or permanently store greenhouse gas emissions. Our unique consortium approach allows members to cost-effectively track and access real technology and market developments towards industrial decarbonization and energy transition.

The program’s objective is to document and assess technically and commercially viable options for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), the hydrogen economy, power-to-X, biomass, waste, and circular routes to fuels/chemicals, and many more topics that are significant in the energy transition.

Included in the program’s scope are:

Industrial decarbonization via process improvements and energy saving initiatives which mitigate CO₂ generation
Green/blue hydrogen and green/blue ammonia developments
CO₂ capture and/or separation
Biofuels and bioenergy (biomass conversion to RD/SAF, biogas/biomethane)
Energy storage (batteries, CAES, hydropower, etc.) and fuel cells
Energy requirements and/or penalties (plus other costs), including energy efficiency
Power-to-X (PtX)
Low carbon feedstocks, carbon displacement, and novel pathways to more sustainable molecules
CO₂ transport and establishment of “hubs”
Life-cycle assessments (LCAs) and sustainability of CO₂ applications
Government-sponsored demonstration and scale-up activities
CO₂ utilization/conversion (e.g., CO₂ as a feedstock) for use as a fuel or intermediate, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications
CO₂ concentration, purification and/or other post-treatment
Bottom-line financial (income) impacts resulting from decarbonization reduction programs

By the direction of the member companies (through balloting and other interactive means) and operated by TCGR, the program delivers weekly monitoring communications via two weekly emails, 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
