NETL will lend its wealth of knowledge on carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) to stakeholders in western Pennsylvania for a special Carbon Capture Symposium Wednesday, April 20, 2022, to provide crucial information and best practices on sustainable energy.
The objective of this invite-only gathering, organized by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council in partnership with the Great Plains Institute and Clean Air Task Force, is to share perspectives on the opportunities and challenges presented by carbon capture, storage, and utilization.
Five thousand years ago, someone discovered that by melting copper and combining it with a small amount of similarly melted tin, they could create bronze, a stronger metal used for weapons, pots and tools. It became known as the first metal alloy and ushered in the “Bronze Age.”
NETL has released “Comparison of Commercial, State-of-the-Art, Fossil-Based Hydrogen Production Technologies,” which reports the levelized cost of hydrogen, in real 2018 dollars, as well as carbon dioxide-equivalent life cycle emissions (cradle-to-gate basis) of select hydrogen production plants, providing critical perspectives for researchers, regulators and policymakers as the nation transitions to a clean energy future.
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $14 million in funding for five front-end engineering design (FEED) studies that will leverage existing zero- or low-carbon energy to supply direct air capture (DAC) projects, combined with dedicated and reliable carbon storage. DAC is a process that separates carbon dioxide (CO2) from ambient air.
Today, NETL announced an amendment to a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) that will build a talent pipeline from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU-OMIs) to support the creation of a clean hydrogen future and Biden Administration’s decarbonization and energy equity goals. The amendment will provide an additional $2.05 million from Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) in support of this effort.
NETL data analysis research is expanding the work of the Lab’s eXtremeMAT program to enable improved materials property prediction that could support the design of cutting-edge clean energy systems.
Doing business with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) can appear daunting. But it doesn’t have to be that way. NETL is joining forces with DOE’s Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU), and the DOE Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) to help companies understand more about doing business with DOE program offices and procurement opportunities.
NETL leverages its expertise in computational modeling to advance the design and improve the capability to predict the performance of alloys in harsh environments needed to reduce the environmental impact of energy production.
NETL and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (DOE-FECM) will host the first in-person Regional Carbon Management Applicant Education Workshop on Wednesday, April 13, in Columbus, Ohio. This workshop supports implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and will target potential applicants interested in developing various carbon management projects.
NETL has significantly upgraded its computerized tomography (CT) scanning technology to provide researchers with an enhanced tool to look at dynamic processes inside rock cores.
