AR pursues projects in the areas of Advanced Materials, Coal Utilization Sciences, Sensors & Controls, and Computational Energy Sciences. These are the areas that are considered to be of greatest relevance and potential benefit to advanced coal and power systems. Many of AR’s projects focus on “breakthrough” technologies or novel applications, striving to balance high risk against the prospect of high payoff in terms of measurable benefits to coal and power systems technologies — improved efficiencies, lower costs, new materials, and new processes.

AR manages a portfolio that includes pre-commercial projects that rely on NETL’s in-house facilities and depth of expertise, as well as collaborative external arrangements that draw upon diverse outside resources. The AR program has an extensive national reach, currently involving some 130 organizations from industry, academia, non-profit organizations, and other national laboratories across the United States.
AR Educational Initiatives involve selected academic partners from all parts of the country in sponsored fundamental research that provides avenues for technology transfer and forums for exchange of fresh ideas. These efforts are specifically addressing the technical challenges of meeting the nation’s energy demands while developing environmentally sound solutions. They also are an important means of accessing underutilized talent and resources, to nurture upcoming generations of scientists and engineers who will solve the latest challenges related to fossil fuel use. |
