Joule 2.0 Supercomputer
Through the development, validation and application of a suite of multiphase flow tools, NETL has established itself as a leader in applying high-performance computing (HPC) to computationally demanding multiphase flow problems — research that is critical for designing next-generation energy systems that will meet the nation’s decarbonization goals.
Swinging Newton balls
Technology transfer officials from 13 Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories converged on NETL in Morgantown, West Virginia to exchange ideas, share successes related to efforts to move new energy technologies from laboratories to the marketplace, and meet with key NETL leaders.

By using software tools developed at the Lab, NETL helped co-author “Modeling Framework for Cost Optimization of Process-Scale Desalination Systems with Mineral Scaling and Precipitation,” which was recently published in the journal ACS ES&T Engineering.
An open in-situ flame.
NETL researchers have completed some of the first in-situ measurements of ammonia-fueled flames. The foundational combustion research will be used to validate computer models needed to design next-generation energy systems using ammonia as a carbon-free fuel.

NETL experts in the field of carbon management participated in the Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) conference this week in Houston, Texas, where leaders from research institutions, universities and industry demonstrated the ongoing need for skilled petroleum geologists, geophysicists and engineers to help define the future of carbon management.
GE Vernova turbine vanes.
GE Vernova’s Gas Power business, under a cooperative agreement with NETL, has successfully tested an advanced cooling architecture enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) to produce turbine components that can deliver improved performance under higher operating pressures and temperatures — crucial factors for increasing turbine efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
NETL’s Zineb Belarbi, Ph.D. presented with the Joyce Wright Industry Impact Award by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP)
Zineb Belarbi, Ph.D., a leading corrosion and electrochemistry researcher at NETL’s Albany, Oregon, facility, was recognized by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) with the Joyce Wright Industry Impact Award in ceremonies held at the association’s annual conference March 6 in New Orleans.
Staff from NETL and the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Fossil Energy Carbon Management (FECM) recently toured the Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM).
Completing an 8,000-mile business trip in just six days can be daunting, but the journey was well worth the effort for a contingent from NETL and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) to ensure key projects supported by NETL remain on track to capture greenhouse gas from industrial sources.
