NETL is managing the two FOAs and resulting awards for the DOE Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund.
NETL officials joined U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm and other Department of Energy (DOE) personnel to commemorate the installation of the first of thousands of solar and battery systems on low-income homes across Puerto Rico. DOE anticipates installing up to 3,000 systems by the end of 2024.
National Energy Water Treatment & Speciation (NEWTS) database logo
NETL’s National Energy Water Treatment & Speciation (NEWTS) database now contains geochemical, geospatial and other characteristics from more than 400,000 water sample records spanning 48 states, enhancing the ability of the open-source tool to determine the impact of energy production on water quality.
Notice of Intent Announcement
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management’s (FECM) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) recently announced its notice of intent (NOI) to release a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) that would contribute to the restoration of the United States as a world leader in the extraction, separation and refining of critical minerals and materials (CMM), which are needed to produce consumer goods such as smartphones and other electronics as well as components for defense systems, solar panels, wind turbines and other clean energy technologies.
Artistic interpretation of a hypothetical gas turbine rotating detonation engine.
NETL researchers investigated rotating detonation engine (RDE) waves and discovered that what had been previously understood to be unstable behavior is actually a repeatable and persistent mode of operation observed over longer timeframes. This new information could help design more reliable and efficient power generation systems in the future that will help reach the nation’s decarbonization goals.

NETL Research Scientist Ruishu Wright is spreading the word about the Laboratory’s growing expertise in quantum sensing — an advanced sensor technology that improves the accuracy of collecting data to assess pipeline integrity and detect gas leakage by sensing changes in motion and electric and magnetic fields on the quantum level — to national audiences.
NETL Reaction Analysis & Chemical Transformation (ReACT) Facility in Morgantown, WV.
NETL and Newark, New Jersey-based Cecilia Energy combined their strengths in a novel Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) that aims to solve one of the world’s greatest environmental challenges while creating upcycled products in the process.
MapIt Mapping Inquiry Tool
NETL has introduced a free online tool to accelerate the discovery of publicly available data when developing permit applications for the sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, in the subsurface.

NETL Director Marianne Walck spoke at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall Meeting recently at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. She was invited to present as part of ACS’s Women in Energy Symposium and discussed NETL research on a variety of topics related to carbon management and sustainable resource development. Key NETL researchers also made presentations.
