More than two dozen NETL researchers will showcase innovative advances in materials science and technology this week at one of the nation’s premier technical meetings and exhibitions for materials science, engineering and application.
The 2019 Materials Science and Technology (MS&T) Conference begins Sept. 29 and continues through Oct. 3 in Portland, Oregon. More than 3,000 scientists, engineers, students, suppliers and business leaders are expected to attend to discuss the latest scientific advances and future of materials science and technology.
NETL researchers tested the more durable oxygen carriers at the Lab’s Chemical Looping Reactor in Morgantown, West Virginia.A recently improved NETL oxygen carrier based on low-cost minerals demonstrated a ten-fold increase in durability compared to previous iterations.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and NETL have selected four projects to receive approximately $4.6 million in federal funding for cost-shared research and development (R&D). The projects will accelerate the development and commercialization of treatment technologies that reduce waste water that is being injected into disposal wells and increase water supplies for reuse. These projects are supported through funding opportunity announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0002004, Low-Cost, Efficient Treatment Technologies for Produced Water.
NETL representatives are putting a spotlight on the Laboratory’s ongoing research efforts focused on developing efficient energy-related technologies at the 9th Annual Pennsylvania Energy Efficiency Conference this week in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
NETL Federal Project Manager Maria Reidpath highlighted federal programs designed to promote the transfer of innovative energy technologies into the marketplace at this week’s Energy Storage and Building Efficiency Conference.
NETL’s work with solid oxide fuel cells is enhancing the nation’s electric grid by generating combustion-free power with minimal environmental impact. The Lab is now extending its research vision to develop reversible solid oxide cells, which can alternately either generate power or produce clean-burning fuel.
Recognized from Sept. 23-27 this year, National Clean Energy Week celebrates advancements in technology that mitigate negative environmental impacts while enhancing the nation’s energy foundation. NETL’s ongoing energy research exemplifies this message by providing technological solutions to the nation’s energy challenges and supporting common-sense solutions that address America’s current and future economic and energy needs.
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy and NETL have announced 32 winners for $56.5 million in federal funding for cost-shared research and development (R&D) projects for advanced coal technologies and research under six separate funding opportunity announcements (FOAs).
The projects further this Administration’s commitment to strengthening clean coal technologies and cover a range of topics, including carbon capture, utilization, and storage; rare earth element recovery; coal to products; crosscutting coal R&D; steam turbine efficiency; and advanced materials.
U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb (17-PA), Chairman of the House Science, Space & Technology Energy Subcommittee, was joined by U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, (9-OH), Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Energy and Water Development Subcommittee, on Tuesday, Sept. 17, on a visit to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Pittsburgh for briefings and a tour of key research laboratories.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and NETL have selected three projects to receive nearly $9 million in federal funding for cost-shared research and development projects under funding opportunity announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0002005, Advanced Subsea System Technologies to Improve Efficiency and Capabilities for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in Offshore Wells.
