WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has released a Request for Information (RFI) that seeks input on strategies and technologies for developing innovative gasification designs for converting biomass and mixed-waste feedstocks into syngas to enable the low-cost production of clean hydrogen.

The past year saw NETL achieve a number of critical successes to advance initiatives and technologies that will lower atmospheric levels of methane, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), while ensuring a safe, reliable and resilient natural gas supply chain for U.S. consumers.

The modern economy is increasingly data-driven and dependent on advanced computing at a time when the traditional semiconductor materials used for computers are reaching their absolute performance limits. This gap in materials performance is pushing researchers to develop new materials for computing microelectronics with better performance characteristics and higher energy efficiency that can also ensure supply chain security and improve sustainability.

WASHINGTON, D.C.  - The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced $45.6 million in federal funding for nine projects that will advance carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technologies and help establish the foundation for a successful carbon transport and storage industry in the United States. 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and NETL are developing the next generation of advanced carbon dioxide (CO2) capture concepts to support the United States in achieving ambitious goals for a greenhouse gas (GHG)-neutral economy by 2050, a carbon-free power sector by 2035 and a 50% reduction from 2005 levels in economy-wide net GHG pollution by 2030.

In a project funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration, NETL partnered with the Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to identify the best methods for locating buried plastic pipelines.

Washington — As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) today announced a conditional commitment to 14 states to receive a total of $350 million in formula grant funding to help measure and reduce methane emissions, one of the biggest drivers of climate change, from the oil and gas sector.

Washington — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced the third opening of a five-year $2.25 billion funding opportunity available through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to support the transport and permanent storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from industrial and power generation facilities, as well as from legacy CO2 emissions removed directly from the atmosphere.

Throughout 2023, NETL has taken steps to advance direct air capture (DAC) technologies to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, a vital step in achieving decarbonization in addition to carbon capture from emission sources.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today issued a notice of intent (NOI) to provide funding in support of two carbon management priorities — the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into environmentally responsible and economically feasible products, and the capture of CO2 from fossil energy-fueled power plants and industrial sources.
