The future of clean energy is hot. Temperatures hit 800 Celsius in parts of solar energy plants and advanced nuclear reactors. Finding materials that can stand that type of heat is tough. So experts look to Mark Messner for answers.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is joining lead organization Northern Illinois University in a $2 million project over three years to develop a prototype low-cost system for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) waste from manufacturing emissions and cleanly converting it into ethanol. Also joining the project are the University of North Texas and Angstrom Advanced Inc.

DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is funding this project for a three-year period.

Proof of vaccination from CNM users, contractors and visitors

On May 13, 2021, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced guidance stating that fully vaccinated individuals do not have to wear face coverings indoors or outdoors, nor physically distance. This guidance has been formally incorporated into Argonne policy as of May 26.
