NETL experts in the field of carbon management participated in the Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) conference this week in Houston, Texas, where leaders from research institutions, universities and industry demonstrated the ongoing need for skilled petroleum geologists, geophysicists and engineers to help define the future of carbon management.
GE Vernova turbine vanes.
GE Vernova’s Gas Power business, under a cooperative agreement with NETL, has successfully tested an advanced cooling architecture enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) to produce turbine components that can deliver improved performance under higher operating pressures and temperatures — crucial factors for increasing turbine efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
NETL’s Zineb Belarbi, Ph.D. presented with the Joyce Wright Industry Impact Award by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP)
Zineb Belarbi, Ph.D., a leading corrosion and electrochemistry researcher at NETL’s Albany, Oregon, facility, was recognized by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) with the Joyce Wright Industry Impact Award in ceremonies held at the association’s annual conference March 6 in New Orleans.

Completing an 8,000-mile business trip in just six days can be daunting, but the journey was well worth the effort for a contingent from NETL and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) to ensure key projects supported by NETL remain on track to capture greenhouse gas from industrial sources.
Water
A game-changing award-wining NETL technology that can effectively capture heavy metals from acid mine drainage and municipal water supplies and extract beneficial critical minerals such as aluminum, nickel and rare earth elements (REE) from water, has been granted a U.S. patent, bringing it step closer to wide use throughout the nation.

Funding Opportunity Announcement
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $30 million in additional funding to support two carbon management priorities—the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into environmentally responsible and economically valuable products and the development of lower-cost, highly efficient technologies to capture CO2 from industrial sources and power plants for permanent storage or conversion. Advancing the development of these technologies will help establish the foundation for a successful carbon capture, storage, and conversion industry in the United States and will help meet the Biden-Harris Administration’s ambitious climate goals of achieving a carbon neutral power sector by 2035 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
