The sensor, sensor data, and field-testing images
University of New Mexico (UNM) and SensorComm Technologies Inc., with support from NETL, have developed a first-of-its-kind field-deployable technology that can accurately sense, identify and quantify the presence of natural gas as an early warning system for leakage, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.

NETL experts are harnessing advanced computing capabilities including machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to create ways to analyze information from diverse data streams like historic records, information reported from citizen scientists, field data collections and other obscure sources to identify undocumented orphaned wells (UOWs), leading to remediation efforts that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
AMPP Portland
NETL researchers and scientists in Oregon had the opportunity to network with potential industrial collaborators in the area of material coatings and corrosion prevention during a tour of the Lab’s Albany campus by members of the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) Portland chapter Thursday, April 13.
Brian Anderson
NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., brought his Laboratory’s story of collaboration with industry, academia, and sister Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories that focus on development and deployment of innovative energy technologies during a panel discussion at National Lab Day at the University of Wyoming (UW) Wednesday.
Carbon Storage Fact Sheet Cover
NETL has launched a new data portal that provides information needed to accelerate the process of completing federal drilling permit applications to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, in the subsurface.

A land-use effort between NETL and the City of Morgantown will offer hikers and bikers a greenway connection to the Mon River Rail-Trail System using NETL property along West Run.
NETL To Receive $150M from Inflation Reduction Act
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced $150 million in funding will be provided through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to support site-wide infrastructure and laboratory modernization upgrades at all three of NETL’s research sites.
Funding Opportunity Announcement
As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $16 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to bring critical mineral supply chains to America and reduce reliance on competitors like China.
