NETL expertise is finding new ways to transform coal and natural gas into chemicals, including the lightest element listed in the periodic table, to resolve a heavy burden for operators of the U.S. electricity grid system.
Partnering with leading university researchers and industry, NETL plans to advance the use of fossil fuels in an environmentally responsible manner to generate hydrogen and other forms of chemical energy, which will be stored for long durations and used when needed to produce electricity and valuable products, ensuring affordable, reliable and clean electric power for generations of consumers.
Hydrogen (H2) gas, with an atomic structure of two protons and two electrons, can be produced from coal and natural gas to serve as an important energy storage medium in the Advanced Energy Storage Program. NETL is developing the program in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Fossil Energy (FE).
