Description

The Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Carbon Negative Shot to advance the development of the emerging and necessary carbon dioxide removal industry. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) plays a critical role in helping the United States address the current climate crisis, as well as achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) facilitated the DOE Carbon Negative Shot Summit in May 2022 to increase collaboration on this effort. Despite the many efforts that have been made so far towards CDR, there is still a lot of work to be done.

To continue that work, ORISE is hosting a research-based challenge for undergraduate students! The challenge is for students to develop an infographic to communicate the current leading ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Thorough submissions will include research on at least four current carbon dioxide removal methods, as well as research on new developments in carbon dioxide removal. Your infographic could win you a $5,000 scholarship! The deadline for this competition is Wednesday, November 30, 2022, and winners will be announced late-December.

Prizes:

1st place: $5,000 scholarship

2nd place: $3,000 scholarship

3rd place: $1,000 scholarship

The Problem:

The world is facing an urgent need to stop the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) levels and their devastating impact of climate change. In order to reach our global climate goals, extensive amounts of CO2 must be removed from our atmosphere every year by mid-century. The DOE hosted the Carbon Negative Shot Summit to increase collaboration on this effort and to open up a door that is essential to moving towards our goal.

Your task:

Develop an infographic to communicate to the public the current leading ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Thorough submissions will include recent scientific and technological research and developments in carbon dioxide removal, as well as research on new developments in carbon dioxide removal. You must provide supporting evidence, using footnotes for citations on the infographic, and have a supporting document with additional information.
