NETL researchers have collaborated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, other contributing national laboratories and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Regional Initiative to Accelerate Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Deployment to release the report “Rules and Tools Crosswalk: A Compendium of Computational Tools to Support Geologic Carbon Storage Environmentally Protective UIC Class VI Permitting.”
NETL will lend its wealth of knowledge on carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) to stakeholders in western Pennsylvania for a special Carbon Capture Symposium Wednesday, April 20, 2022, to provide crucial information and best practices on sustainable energy.
The objective of this invite-only gathering, organized by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council in partnership with the Great Plains Institute and Clean Air Task Force, is to share perspectives on the opportunities and challenges presented by carbon capture, storage, and utilization.
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $14 million in funding for five front-end engineering design (FEED) studies that will leverage existing zero- or low-carbon energy to supply direct air capture (DAC) projects, combined with dedicated and reliable carbon storage. DAC is a process that separates carbon dioxide (CO2) from ambient air.
NETL’s expertise in data analytics and high-performance computing to support a carbon-neutral and sustainable energy future will be highlighted at the American Association of Petroleum Geologists’ Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Conference on March 29-31 in Houston, Texas.
GTI and S&P Global Platts today launched the Open Hydrogen Initiative (OHI), a new collaboration focused on brining industry within the hydrogen marketplace together to provide further transparency into t he environmental impact of hydrogen production and help unlock its full potential as an important driver of energy transitions. As part of this initiative, GTI has invited NETL to participate in the effort as a result of NETL’s deep expertise and capabilities in Life Cycle Analysis.
Several NETL researchers will present some of the Lab’s recent groundbreaking geological and environmental systems (GES) research during the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, Dec. 13-17.
“As the nation transitions to a clean energy economy, technologies enabling carbon capture and storage (CCS) are becoming even more important,” said Ale Hakala, NETL senior fellow for Geological & Environmental Systems. “An important part of our GES work is making sure that these efforts are safe and reliable.”
NETL strives to realize new technologies for carbon capture and storage (CCS), which have been recognized as having potential to help achieve a net-zero carbon emissions energy sector. However, taking CCS processes from concepts to reality requires reliable data from a multitude of sources in a one-stop digital stop. That’s where NETL’s Energy Data eXchange (EDX) Carbon Storage Data Resources can help.
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced its intent to fund cost-shared research and development to accelerate the wide-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR)—critical components to achieve the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
To meet aggressive decarbonization goals set by the Biden Administration in the fight against climate change, NETL has developed toolsets such as the Lab’s CO2-SCREEN (Storage prospeCtive Resource Estimation Excel aNalysis) to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology development and deployment.
