The Emerging Interdisciplinary Field of"Engineering Thermochemistry"Aids in Achieving the"Carbon Neutrality"Goal
More than 90％of our carbon emissions come from the utilization of organic carbon resources and carbonate minerals,which cannot be replaced in the short term.Therefore,the most effective strategy to address the challenge of"carbon neutrality"is to focus on reducing these thermochemical-related"super-emitters"(heat-induced/heat-driven chemical reactions).Engineering thermochemistry(ETC)is an emerging interdisciplinary field that focuses on thermochemical reactions and their engineering science and technology.This paper first intro-duces the definition and scientific content of ETC.And then,it reviews the detailed history of ETC from its forma-tion to its development.Finally,based on the scientific methods and principles provided,it introduces effective large-scale carbon reduction,carbon substitution,and carbon recycling pathways.It also demonstrates the method-ology and rationale for reducing billions of tons of carbon emissions through engineering thermochemistry.
