NETL researchers and other participants from NETL-led projects will share their internationally recognized geo-data science expertise through presentations and poster sessions at the 2023 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, Dec. 11-15 in San Francisco, California.
Funding Opportunity Announcement
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $40 million in federal funding for projects that will help advance commercial-scale carbon capture, transport, and storage across the United States to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from industrial operations and power plants, as well as from legacy emissions in the atmosphere. Specifically, the funding will provide technical, informational, and educational assistance to stakeholders involved in DOE and private sector-based carbon transport and storage projects located throughout the country, as well as to communities impacted by these projects.

Pranjali Muley, Ph.D., an NETL researcher whose work on the Lab’s Reaction Engineering Team is advancing the next breakthroughs in microwave reaction engineering, was recognized as a Technology Rising Star at the 2023 Women of Color STEM Digital Twin Experience Conference.
Mike Fasouletos
Growing up near Moundsville, West Virginia, NETL’s Mike Fasouletos loved riding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), dirt bikes and practically anything with a motor and wheels on the family’s farm. Those activities were more than a hobby. They drove Fasouletos to a career in engineering. “My dream job was going to be designing the next great bike or ATV for the big manufacturers who made the machines I loved to ride,” Fasouletos said.
Erin Russell-Story, an NETL project manager who has dedicated much of her career to advancing the use of alternative fuel vehicles, received the Stephen R. Connors Visionary Award at the 20th annual AltWheels Fleet Day, the largest meeting of corporate and municipal fleet managers on the East Coast.

Connors Visionary Award at the 20th annual AltWheels Fleet Day, the largest meeting of corporate and municipal fleet managers on the East Coast. The award was presented by AltWheels, a nonprofit organization that focuses on building sustainable transportation alternatives, to an individual who exhibits leadership in helping to make changes in the environmental sector that positively impact the world.
Hannah Siegler
Hannah Sieger, NETL’s contracting officer representative (COR) for the upcoming Direct Air Capture (DAC) Center, grew up watching as evidence and effects of climate change mounted, and today she stands ready to support the Lab as it works to address this challenge. The testing and development of DAC technologies is an essential component of achieving a low-carbon economy and a tool to help mitigate some of the environmental issues the nation is facing.
Funding Opportunity Announcement
Washington — As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced over $444 million to support sixteen selected projects across twelve states that will fight climate change by bolstering the nation’s carbon management industry.
The Carbon Matchmaker interactive web map.
Developed by NETL researchers in coordination with the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), Carbon Matchmaker, an online information hub, connects users across the carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) community and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) supply chains, helping to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through strong public-private partnerships in a just and sustainable way.
The Energy Data eXchange (EDX).
As a recognized leader in research data curation, collaboration and virtualization for the national decarbonization effort, NETL’s geo-data infrastructure work was on display at national summits in October. The Lab’s digital infrastructure and resources are invaluable in advancing decarbonization projects related to carbon capture and storage (CCS), critical minerals (CM) and hydrogen.
