NETL experts took part in the recent Global Direct Air Capture Conference, a two-day event that brought together global leaders and innovators who are working to develop direct air capture (DAC) as a robust, cost-effective and environmentally just technology to remove greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.

A forecasting toolkit developed jointly by a pair of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiatives and funded, in part, through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will help operators of underground carbon dioxide (CO2) storage sites assess the likelihood and magnitude of seismic activity that could arise from commercial-scale injection.
A Hydrogen network.
NETL is a partner with major industry groups on three regional hydrogen hub projects selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of low-cost, clean hydrogen — a valuable energy product that can be produced with zero or near-zero carbon emissions and is crucial to meeting clean energy goals.

An NETL researcher gathered invaluable knowledge and experience by participating in the annual Research Experience in Carbon Sequestration (RECS) program — a carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) education program designed to help graduate students and early career professionals expand their knowledge and grow a collaborative network.
Direct air capture, which removes carbon dioxide directly form the atmosphere, will be critical for counterbalancing hard-to-decarbonize sectors.
NETL has initiated a four-year plan to develop a direct air capture (DAC) process that integrates expertise from the Lab’s extensive materials design, computational materials design, computation fluid dynamics, and process system design research portfolios to advance a cutting-edge technology that will remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.
Funding Opportunity Announcement
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $17.5 million in funding to advance technologies that capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial facilities and power plants and convert those CO2 emissions into valuable products.
Steelmaking operations at United States Steel Corporation.
NETL and United States Steel Corporation plan to test an advanced membrane technology to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated by steelmaking operations at the Company’s Edgar Thomson Plant, located in Braddock, Pennsylvania.
NETL’s Mariah Young
It didn’t take long for NETL’s Mariah Young to find her perfect fit. Her first job after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh involved working on the system that powers NASA’s deep space missions, such as the Perseverance rover which was sent to Mars to collect rock and soil samples and conduct research.
NETL’s Christina Wildfire.
A pair of microwave reactors recently installed at NETL provides researchers with tools to quickly screen materials called catalysts for their potential to trigger the chemical reactions needed to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals and decarbonize industrial processes that emit greenhouse gas.

CO2-SCREEN, a user-friendly, yet sophisticated tool developed by a team of NETL researchers to estimate the resource potential of storing captured carbon dioxide (CO2) in underground geological environments, continues to attract a wide range of international users as the world intensifies efforts to address climate change.
