In a project funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration, NETL partnered with the Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to identify the best methods for locating buried plastic pipelines.
Washington — As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) today announced a conditional commitment to 14 states to receive a total of $350 million in formula grant funding to help measure and reduce methane emissions, one of the biggest drivers of climate change, from the oil and gas sector.
Washington — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced the third opening of a five-year $2.25 billion funding opportunity available through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to support the transport and permanent storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from industrial and power generation facilities, as well as from legacy CO2 emissions removed directly from the atmosphere.
Throughout 2023, NETL has taken steps to advance direct air capture (DAC) technologies to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, a vital step in achieving decarbonization in addition to carbon capture from emission sources.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today issued a notice of intent (NOI) to provide funding in support of two carbon management priorities — the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into environmentally responsible and economically feasible products, and the capture of CO2 from fossil energy-fueled power plants and industrial sources.
NETL and Alpharetta, Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline Company (the largest pipeline system for refined oil products in the U.S, ranging from Texas to New York) have signed a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA). As a result, field demonstrations of optical fiber sensor systems developed at NETL on Colonial’s fuel pipeline will continue — in the hopes of progressing technology that enhances the safety and security of pipeline operations through leak detection.
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced the selection of four research and development (R&D) projects to receive nearly $10 million for the treatment and management of produced water—or wastewater associated with oil and natural gas development and production—and the management of legacy wastewater associated with coal-based thermal electric power generation facilities.
NETL has released the latest edition of its semiannual publication that showcases research on emerging energy technologies. NETL Edge shares the latest developments in the Lab’s mission to drive innovation and deliver solutions for an environmentally sustainable and prosperous energy future.
NETL’s Carbon Transport and Storage Program features on-site world-class leaders, scientists, and engineers and the engineering and scientific expertise to manage external research projects that further Department of Energy (DOE) Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) goals. The program’s accomplishments promote the growth of good-paying jobs, especially to those in disadvantaged or burdened communities.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has released a Request for Information (RFI) that seeks input on questions regarding potential funding for workforce development efforts through new carbon management curricula.
