WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $100 million to help develop a commercially viable carbon dioxide removal industry in the United States. The funding will support pilot projects and testing facilities to demonstrate and scale carbon dioxide removal technologies that reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution by removing it directly from the atmosphere and then storing the CO2 in geological, biobased, and ocean reservoirs or converting it into value-added products.
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has been selected to receive a new grant to advance the laboratory’s commitment to Executive Order (E.O.) 14057’s net-zero carbon emissions buildings goals and put the laboratory one step closer to becoming the first U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facility to operate with 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by the end of fiscal year 2026.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has released a Request for Information (RFI) that seeks input intended to assist DOE in the planning of priorities and initiatives to catalyze the development, demonstration, and deployment of carbon capture, conversion, and storage technologies to decarbonize America’s industrial sectors. Large-scale deployment of carbon management infrastructure is crucial to meeting the Biden-Harris Administration’s ambitious climate goal of achieving a net-zero emissions economy by 2050, while also delivering a healthier environment and economic opportunities for our communities and workers. This plan will supplement the material included in the September 2023 DOE report, Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Industrial Decarbonization.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt), in collaboration with NETL, will develop buoy-based optical fiber sensors to study how the oceans remove carbon from the air and generate findings that could advance the development of marine-based technologies to reduce atmospheric levels of greenhouse gas.
Yuhua Duan, Ph.D., a research physical scientist at NETL, has been named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), a professional society based in the United Kingdom with more than 54,000 members worldwide.
RSC awards the designation of Fellow to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the chemical sciences.
As part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Hydrogen with Carbon Management (HCM) Program, NETL research focuses on the development and use of carbon-neutral or net-negative carbon emission energy systems and associated technologies.
Throughout 2023, NETL created substantial innovations for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful products, a vital step in achieving economical decarbonization.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has released a Request for Information (RFI) that seeks input on strategies and technologies for developing innovative gasification designs for converting biomass and mixed-waste feedstocks into syngas to enable the low-cost production of clean hydrogen.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and NETL are developing the next generation of advanced carbon dioxide (CO2) capture concepts to support the United States in achieving ambitious goals for a greenhouse gas (GHG)-neutral economy by 2050, a carbon-free power sector by 2035 and a 50% reduction from 2005 levels in economy-wide net GHG pollution by 2030.
Throughout 2023, NETL has taken steps to advance direct air capture (DAC) technologies to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, a vital step in achieving decarbonization in addition to carbon capture from emission sources.
