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.

With the newest release of NETL’s carbonaceous chemistry for computational modeling, or C3M, software, researchers have leveraged machine learning approaches to overcome one of the biggest drains to computational resources when modeling advanced energy systems.

NETL oil and gas experts shared information about their work to improve the production, processing, transportation and storage of our nation’s abundant oil and natural gas resources this week at the 2019 Gastech Exhibition and Conference in Houston, Texas.
