NETL researchers took a major step forward in studying how well a new solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) product can work in a micro-grid setting when they installed a cutting-edge SOFC system to help meet power needs at NETL’s Morgantown, West Virginia site.
NETL and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) will post a pre-recorded webinar to provide information on the University Training and Research (UTR) Program and a grant writing discussion.
NETL researchers have developed a low-cost process for converting coal tar waste into a high-quality graphene — material that can increase performance of energy-storing supercapacitor systems by up to 55%.
NETL expertise and oversight played a significant role in completing the first successful field test of a direct air capture (DAC) technology at the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC).
NETL researchers have successfully operated a new modular rotating detonation engine (RDE) combustor that offers full optical access to the fuel/air injectors, the combustion channel and across the exhaust duct. This will assist with acquiring crucial measurements to help accelerate the development of highly efficient RDE technology for power generation.
The application period is open to become a summer intern at NETL through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program.
The MLEF Program offers summer research internships for undergraduate and graduate students preparing for energy-related careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
MLEF interns are mentored by NETL scientists and engineers while completing research projects focused on developing clean energy technologies and moving the nation toward net-zero emissions.
NETL’s new CO2-Locate web application, now available on NETL’s EDX®, offers decision makers access to a wide swath of information needed to help create a net-zero carbon emissions power sector.
The application is one of several new, innovative tools developed with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Growing up in southern West Virginia, Kristyn Johnson May, a mechanical engineer at NETL who recently won an exciting science communication competition, learned early about the importance of poise, confidence and other skills for effective public speaking.
As a result of the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) collaboration through an interagency agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Methane Emission Reduction Program (MERP), the U.S. oil and gas industries now have expanded access to information about private sector providers of advanced methane monitoring technologies for use in selecting, plugging and mitigating leaks from marginal conventional wells (MCWs) that dot much of the nation’s oil and gas-producing regions.
When an autumn frost descends on southwestern Pennsylvania, NETL’s Thomas Tarka can sometimes detect an aroma in the crisp fall air that can only mean one thing.
