engineers from academia and industry representing an array of technical clisciplines to 2The National Research Council's Committee on Novel Approaches to the Management of Greenhouse Gases from Energy Systems held a workshop at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center in Irvine, California, on February 12-14, 2003, and published a workshop report summarizing the ideas developed therein. That report, Novel Approaches to Carbon Management.

in the committee's April 2003 workshop report and its November 2003 letter report evaluating proposals.s The objectives of this final letter report, which addresses the fourth task, are to evaluate the success of the Workshop on Novel Approaches to Carbon Management in generating novel concepts for stimulating research proposals and to expand on lessons learner! from the workshop effort and the proposal review.

The workshop attendees were primarily invitees, but a number of scientists and engineers also attendeci who reamed of the meeting by advertisement, by word of mouth, or from the NRC Web site. in the development of future workshops, additional notification through professional societies, trade journals, and/or Web sites could help to attract additional participants beyond those formally invited.

ideas and contributed to discussions freely, despite the possibility of competition for DOE monies or other forms of funcling. There was a general consensus among the committee members that the breakout sessions generated many novel concepts; most, though not all, were represented in the April 2003 workshop report.~° It should also be noted that part of the success of the breakout sessions was due to the fluid structure of the brainstorming sessions, which allowed participants to circulate freely among, and contribute to, different topical sections.

for innovative but untested ideas that require some initial level of study before investment of the larger balance of research funds can be justified. RECOMMENDATION: Any future DOE-FE solicitation on novel approaches to carbon management research should involve a Phase ~ feasibility study level of effort to assess the concept before progressing to greater levels of effort.

During the proposal review meeting the committee divided itself into four subgroups corresponding to the four topic areas of the February 2003 workshop: advanced separation techniques, advanced subsurface technology, advanced geochemical sequestration methods, ant! novel niches.
