Pioneering technology from Texas A&M paves the way for carbon conversion solutions through a new Engineering Research Center
Researchers from Texas A&M University are leading an innovative initiative aimed at transforming U.S. manufacturing to achieve zero or negative emissions. This $26 million decarbonization project, led by Washington University in St. Louis, focuses on creating a circular carbon economy by converting CO2 emissions into valuable products.

As a co-lead, Texas A&M collaborates with the University of Delaware, Prairie View A&M University, and Washington University. Drawing on expertise from its College of Engineering and Energy Institute, Texas A&M is contributing to cutting-edge carbon capture and conversion technologies.
"Transforming CO2 from waste into useful products in a sustainable way is one of the most critical challenges in the energy transition era," said Dr. Stratos Pistikopoulos, director of the Texas A&M Energy Institute. CURB technology aims to provide scalable engineering solutions for this circular economy.
The breakthrough technology, developed by Dr. Susie Dai, combines CO2 reduction with biological conversion, enabling the central theme of the circular carbon bioeconomy. "We have designed a system that adds value to CO2, creating the blueprint for 'decarbonized biomanufacturing,'" Dai said.
Texas A&M has filed a patent for this innovative process, which has the potential to reshape industries by turning CO2 into high-value materials. Texas A&M's digital twin tools will simulate the feasibility and sustainability of various carbon bioeconomy pathways.
The CURB initiative will also focus on workforce development, helping U.S. workers transition to sustainable manufacturing roles. Texas A&M aims to create new career pathways in biomanufacturing to drive economic growth.
Funding for this project is administered by the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES).
