They symposia seeks new developments for asphalt binder materials including alternative binders and asphalt extenders. The materials can consist of bio-mass based feedstocks, wastes or other naturally occurring feedstocks. Abstracts including paving materials, methods, or recycling practices which improve the CO2 footprint and life cycle assessment are also encouraged. Traditional petroleum based asphalt is incredibly complex, adding to this new materials for partial replacement in the form of extenders, or switching to completely new materials is equally complex. Therefore, abstracts on the characterization of these materials by chemical and physicochemical methods—especially with regards to performance, cracking and oxidation—are strongly encouraged.

The design and discovery of energy materials is a highly active field of research driven by society’s increasing power demands and need for sustainable energy solutions. Computational modeling plays a crucial role in expediting the discovery and design of next-generation materials for energy storage, harvesting and conversion. This symposium will cover different topics highlighting the advances of computational modeling techniques and their applications for energy materials. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: implementation of ab initio, classical, and multi-scale modeling as well as emerging machine learning-guided approaches (including machine learning-aided development of forcefields or potentials) for materials’ discovery; advances in semiconductor materials for renewable energy applications; computational modeling of materials in non-equilibrium, dynamic and extreme environments; and co-optimization of materials’ properties for different applications, such as thermal and electronic property optimization for thermoelectrics. The one-and-half-day symposium will include a panel discussion on perspectives and future directions of computational modeling of energy materials. A poster session will also be organized to particularly highlight the contribution from graduate students and early-career researchers

Innovation at the extended value chain refers to the process of designing and implementing systems that enable the reuse, recycling, and repurposing of materials and products to enable circularity. The status-quo-of organic waste management is the collection and accumulation at the landfill. While we are conversant with the extraction-based materials recovery, we have very little knowledge how to separate heterogeneous waste stream and generate high-value materials with an efficiency that matches or exceeds the linear economy-based value chain. We will discuss some of the innovative works in the field of computer vision, composite manufacturing, or solvent and chemical based recycling to stretch the boundary of imagination-a key step towards enabling extended value chain. Circularity at the extended value chain is important for businesses because it enables them to reduce their environmental impact, improve resource efficiency, and create new business opportunities.

Natural gas (methane) is a useful fuel and chemical feedstock, but it is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, the atmospheric concentration of methane is increasing faster than at any time since record keeping began in the 1980s. However, with a mean atmospheric lifetime of about ten years, control of methane emission can provide a near-term opportunity to mitigate global warming and meet the 2015 climate goals of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This symposium focuses on methane sources and sinks, measurement technology, climate modeling, and market supply and demand.

Electrochemical systems play a key role in our energy infrastructure and are crucial for the ongoing transition to renewable and sustainable energy technologies. Meeting the rising demand for these technologies is predicated on developing novel chemistries and materials systems and understanding the interplay between chemistry and functional properties. This symposium will focus on recent, basic science advances in materials chemistry for electrochemical energy, with applications including fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and beyond. Submissions should emphasize fundamental research that enables the development of these technologies. Experimental, theoretical, and computational studies are encouraged for submission.

The University of Wyoming has entered into partnerships with the US Department of Energy to develop carbon ore, rare earth, and critical materials (CORE-CM) natural resources into valuable products for industrial and commercial purposes. This symposium addresses current research in the discovery and application of these resources from the Greater Green River, Winder River, and Powder River Basins in Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana. Development of CORE-CM supply chains in the region include geochemical evaluations of coal derived resources in regard to extractability of REE/CM elements of interest, carbon materials engineering considerations, and processing technologies that promote useful materials for developing end users of CORE-CM materials. Current research on these topics will be presented and discussed in an effort to exhibit those aspects which are most promising for CORE-CM development in the region.
The Carbon Engineering program has focused on identifying and producing high carbon content products made from PRB coal. Since its inception in 2016, the Carbon Engineering program has produced many possible products from coal derived asphalt, coal char bricks, composite materials, soil amendment, and many other products in various stages of development. The program is scaling up the upstream processes that make materials used in our coal to products research so the program can move forward with commercialization efforts. The end goal is to make the coal derived products in sustainable ways and commercialize them, so coal has a promising future.
