Synthesis: Carbon Capture and Repurposing By-Products
The research team will investigate the potential for implementing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies within Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) projects. The research team aims to provide TxDOT with the necessary knowledge and tool to incorporate CCS into its operations and achieve significant reductions in carbon emissions on its projects. Specific tasks include (1) a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art CCS technologies used across industries, (2) identification of best practices and lessons learned for CCS implementation on transportation projects, (3) identifying the viability of CCS for TxDOT projects using through a consequential life cycle assessment case study, and (4) consolidating findings into an implementation guideline tailored to TxDOT, outlining regulatory, cost, incentive, and governance considerations for CCS deployment.
