CRC Carbon Management Institute
CREL is establishing a hub dedicated to carbon management education, workforce development, and community engagement. Our initiatives center on carbon dioxide capture, transport, and storage, with a strong focus on economic viability, environmental impact, and equity in implementation.
- Technology Demonstration Models: Develop workshops and demonstrations with interactive 3D educational models to raise awareness and understanding of carbon capture and storage technologies among students and local communities.
- Community Education: Engage local communities through workshops and outreach to build awareness and understanding of carbon management, industry application, utilization, and storage solutions.
- Research & Industry Collaboration: Partner with national labs and industry leaders to guide CREL’s carbon management initiatives by supporting applied research, technology development, and hands-on learning in carbon capture, utilization, and storage.
