NETL Director Brian Anderson hosted representatives from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Energy Team at the Lab’s Pittsburgh site today where they discussed how NETL energy analysis expertise can help support the nation’s transition to a clean energy future. The group also toured several NETL facilities focused on developing decarbonization technologies.

A unique partnership between NETL and the City of Pittsburgh supports the development of energy districts designed to meet the energy needs of individual neighborhoods using highly efficient and cost-effective technologies. In 2015, NETL and Pittsburgh leaders signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to transform the city’s energy system and aging infrastructure by implementing a “grid of microgrids” concept that spanned nine energy districts.

NETL Director Brian Anderson will join other Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory directors to discuss the future direction of their laboratories’ energy research as part of a Business Forum during the 2022 Global Clean Energy Action Forum (GCEAF) September 21-23 in Pittsburgh’s David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

The latest developments in sensor technologies and their applications to the power sector and other fields were the highlight of the Infrastructure Sensing Collaboration Workshop held Aug. 24-25 for research leaders at NETL and its partners with the University of Pittsburgh.

The leaders from NETL and the University of Pittsburgh will gather in the city Aug. 24-25 to share the latest developments, demands and applications of emerging sensor technologies in the nation’s energy future during the Infrastructure Sensing Collaboration Workshop.

The nation’s top engineers and scientists leading groundbreaking research to reduce atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the world’s dominant greenhouse gas, will gather in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Aug. 15-19 when NETL hosts the 2022 Carbon Management Project Review Meeting.

NETL’s Regional Workforce Initiative (RWFI) will host the 2022 Regional Advanced Manufacturing and Energy (R-AME) Innovation Group summer meeting virtually 10:30 a.m. to noon, Thursday, Aug. 18, 2022. Anthony Armaly, RWFI federal coordinator for NETL, will kick off the meeting by sharing R-AME successes and accomplishments over the last two years while providing information on regional funding opportunities.

NETL’s Reaction Analysis and Chemical Transformation Facility (ReACT) will be front and center when a premier group of industry leaders working on more efficient industrial processes visit the Morgantown, West Virginia, site Tuesday, Aug. 9. NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., will deliver welcoming remarks to the visitors.

Addressing the nation’s mechanical engineers at the Power 2022 Conference, NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., emphasized the importance of developing a diverse portfolio of technologies and an integrated approach to meet the Biden Administration’s timeline for decarbonization and accelerate the nation’s transition to a clean energy future.

NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., will be part of a distinguished panel of experts set to discuss recent innovations related to national decarbonization efforts as part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Carbon Negative Shot Summit set for Wednesday, July 20.
