Free-Air CO₂ Enrichment (FACE)

Facility Engineering and Operations (PI Lewin)

All four Free-Air CO₂ Enrichment (FACE) Facilities funded by the Department of Energy Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research use the BNL design, and were built with assistance from the BNL FACE engineering team.

The CCS&T group at BNL provides support for these and other FACE experiments in the USA and abroad. Support activities include providing engineering and technical support, monitoring operations to quality-assure performance, providing support and upgrades for control system hardware and software, linking data acquisition systems to the Internet, coordinating FACE Facility operations among FACE sites, and supporting the development of other FACE sites and related projects.

This project contributes directly to the BER Terrestrial Carbon Processes program, the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program, and to numerous projects of investigators separately funded for research within the FACE Facility. more...

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
