U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) researchers across the nation are accelerating efforts to solve challenging production, transportation and storage issues to put hydrogen (H2) to work as a low-carbon fuel option for a range of critical energy applications. NETL is a key part of that overall effort with work to advance surveillance and monitoring technologies for underground H2 storage facilities that ensure maximum safety.

Funding Opportunity Announcement
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), announced on Oct. 19 the first set of projects funded by the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to expand domestic manufacturing of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and the electrical grid and for materials and components currently imported from other countries.

Across America, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) researchers in national laboratories like NETL are working together to identify and develop containment and monitoring technologies for the safe and effective underground storage of hydrogen (H2). Concurrently, planning is under way to raise public perception and acceptance of the underground storage facilities needed to help make H2 a safe and practical low-carbon fuel source for a new energy economy.

NETL geo-data scientist Jennifer Bauer will discuss the Lab’s research activities focused on legacy oil and gas infrastructure — retired pipelines, platforms and other structures that remain in place after abandonment or end of use — at the Gulf Offshore Energy Safety Informational Webinar to be held from 11 a.m. to noon ET Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022.
NETL Director Brian Anderson
NETL Director Brian Anderson will deliver opening remarks at the 2022 West Virginia Governor’s Energy Summit, Oct. 25-26 at the Stonewall Resort in Roanoke, West Virginia. There, Anderson will highlight NETL’s latest developments in hydrogen energy research and the Lab’s contributions to the White House Interagency Working Group (IWG) on Coal and Power Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization.
