The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical & Petroleum Engineers [AIME] – a founding society member of United Engineering Foundation (UEF) – is pleased to enthusiastically participate in the joint founder society project on (a) evaluation of mitigation technologies for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and (b) promulgation of informed knowledge on climate change to society at large for environmental sustainability in this century. Stewardship of earth, energy and environment is at the core of AIME’s professional responsibility. AIME is home to scientists and engineers engaged in the production and utilization of fossil fuel based energy sources, natural resource exploration, as well as structural and advanced materials technologies. The world economy will continue to be fueled by these sources of energy and, therefore, its responsible use is of critical importance. As AIME continues its promotion of the alternative and renewable energy forms, it fully endorses the proposal to UEF for support to study the GHG emission control technologies pertaining to (i) electric power generation and (ii) transportation. AIME is prepared to provide technical assistance and volunteer time to ensure the success of this project. We expect that UEF support will assist us in educating various constituencies of the society and in lending technical credibility to policymaking. AIME requests UEF to support this project so the engineering societies may contribute to meeting the grand challenge of the century.
