The August 2021 edition of RWFI E-Note Monthly, the newsletter of NETL’s Regional Workforce Initiative, outlines how schools and worker education programs can apply for funding from the National Science Foundation to prepare the next generation of technicians for high-technology fields.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is catalyzing economic growth and job creation in energy communities across the nation through the establishment of the NETL-led Carbon Ore, Rare Earth and Critical Minerals (CORE-CM) initiative. The initiative will help to secure a domestic supply of rare earth elements (REEs) and critical Minerals (CMs), which are crucial to the manufacture of clean energy technologies that will help decarbonize the energy sector.
NETL researcher Mengling Stuckman, Ph.D., will present some of the Lab’s recent critical minerals (CM) recovery research at the Pennsylvania Independent Oil and Gas Association (PIOGA) Water and Waste Management meeting Wednesday, Aug. 18, in Wexford, Pennsylvania.
Stuckman will highlight NETL efforts to perform advanced geochemical characterization of U.S. energy production waste streams to support sustainable, domestic CM recovery.
All 17 U.S. national laboratories, including NETL, and many prominent publishers of scientific journals announced today (Wednesday, July 28, 2021) the beginning of a partnership to support name-change requests from researchers on their previously published papers.
The purpose of the agreement is to establish a mechanism that ensures researchers can own their academic work under their chosen name and provides institutional support to correct bylines on their past publications.
NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., and five of the Lab’s leading experts in the development of carbon management strategies and technologies will be featured presenters at the Carbon Capture, Storage & Utilization Virtual Forum on Tuesday, July 27.
NETL demonstrated various technologies under development and emerging best practices to realize the Biden Administration’s goal of transforming the U.S. energy sector during the Smart Grid Observer (SGO) Carbon Capture, Storage & Utilization Virtual Forum, held on Tuesday, July 27.
Three years into their formal research partnership, NETL and Wyoming-based technology firm Ramaco Carbon are driving the development of carbon materials that could lead to safer vehicles, less expensive batteries, more durable roads and bridges, and other game-changing innovations while advancing new uses for coal, one of the nation’s most abundant resources.
The June 2021 edition of RWFI E-Note Monthly provides up-to-date information about funding opportunities to launch and support workforce development initiatives in rural communities and ensure all students have access to quality programs that prioritize science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.
NETL’s Regional Workforce Initiative (RWFI) will host the 2021 Regional Advanced Manufacturing and Energy (R-AME) Innovation Group summer meeting. This meeting includes stakeholders across Appalachia, including major players in academia and industry to discuss opportunities for strengthening economic & workforce development across the region.
NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., will participate in the H2IQ Hour, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, July 21, 2021, at 12 p.m. ET, to provide an update on NETL’s hydrogen activities, including how those efforts are supporting larger diversity, equity, inclusion and environmental justice initiatives.
