NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., discussed state-of-the-art energy R&D and his Lab’s work to meet the nation’s most important energy challenges with representatives from mining companies, power providers and other businesses that rely on lignite at the Lignite Energy Council Fall Conference Oct. 3, 2019, in Bismarck, North Dakota.
NETL Director Brian J. Anderson, Ph.D., and other representatives will share the Lab’s innovative work to develop energy technology solutions at the upcoming West Virginia Governor’s Energy Summit.
An NETL-sponsored project is leveraging artificial intelligence in a manner that will lead to more efficient, long-lasting and reliable gas turbines to meet America’s growing energy needs.
As advanced energy systems move toward higher temperatures to boost efficiency and reduce emissions, monitoring their performance under such harsh conditions becomes a challenge. Existing monitoring tools for gas turbines are costly, time-consuming and complicated, involving wires and risks for damage.
NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., and other Lab personnel will exchange information and ideas with industry, universities, investors and end-use customers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) InnovationXLab Artificial Intelligence (AI) Summit Oct. 2-3, at the historic Drake Hotel in Chicago.
More than two dozen NETL researchers will showcase innovative advances in materials science and technology this week at one of the nation’s premier technical meetings and exhibitions for materials science, engineering and application.
The 2019 Materials Science and Technology (MS&T) Conference begins Sept. 29 and continues through Oct. 3 in Portland, Oregon. More than 3,000 scientists, engineers, students, suppliers and business leaders are expected to attend to discuss the latest scientific advances and future of materials science and technology.
NETL researchers tested the more durable oxygen carriers at the Lab’s Chemical Looping Reactor in Morgantown, West Virginia.A recently improved NETL oxygen carrier based on low-cost minerals demonstrated a ten-fold increase in durability compared to previous iterations.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and NETL have selected four projects to receive approximately $4.6 million in federal funding for cost-shared research and development (R&D). The projects will accelerate the development and commercialization of treatment technologies that reduce waste water that is being injected into disposal wells and increase water supplies for reuse. These projects are supported through funding opportunity announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0002004, Low-Cost, Efficient Treatment Technologies for Produced Water.
NETL representatives are putting a spotlight on the Laboratory’s ongoing research efforts focused on developing efficient energy-related technologies at the 9th Annual Pennsylvania Energy Efficiency Conference this week in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
NETL Federal Project Manager Maria Reidpath highlighted federal programs designed to promote the transfer of innovative energy technologies into the marketplace at this week’s Energy Storage and Building Efficiency Conference.
NETL’s work with solid oxide fuel cells is enhancing the nation’s electric grid by generating combustion-free power with minimal environmental impact. The Lab is now extending its research vision to develop reversible solid oxide cells, which can alternately either generate power or produce clean-burning fuel.
