NETL researchers pitched top-ranked clean energy technologies to potential industry, investment and government prospectors and partners during the recent TechConnect World Innovation Conference and Expo, earning TechConnect National Innovation Awards for their teams. NETL’s Dustin McIntyre and Andrew Bean participated in TechConnect’s Innovation Challenge, which the organizer states is the largest multi-sector commercialization program for emerging deep technologies.

NETL researchers are helping the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) unlock the potential of an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) computing resource to perform critical climate modeling that could lead to better climate change predictions.

A new NETL fact sheet summarizes a growing portfolio of research activity by its Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Program that is integral to U.S. efforts to achieve a net-zero carbon economy by 2050.

The Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), today issued Notices of Intent for two programs that will advance six carbon capture demonstration projects and expand regional pipeline networks to transport carbon dioxide (CO2) for permanent geologic storage or for conversion into valued end uses, such as construction materials.

NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D., will be part of a distinguished panel of experts set to discuss recent innovations related to national decarbonization efforts as part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Carbon Negative Shot Summit set for Wednesday, July 20.

Tech Yeah, a new networking conference that will highlight how West Virginia-based companies are forging productive new pathways for a brighter Mountain State economy through technology innovation set for Aug. 23 at Fairmont’s Robert H. Mollohan Research Center will feature a talk by NETL Director Brian Anderson, Ph.D.

Washington, D.C. - Today, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced funding for two opportunities totaling $8 million to advance natural gas research coupled to methane mitigation and build new humanities-driven science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (HDSTEM) curricula at eligible U.S. colleges and universities.

NETL technology initially used for carbon capture applications can play a significant role in removing toxic metals that flow from thousands of abandoned and active mines across the nation to pollute streams, destroy aquatic life and contaminate water supplies. Multi-functional Sorbent Technology (MUST) represents a game-changing, low-cost process to mitigate the devastating effects of acid mine drainage (AMD) on waterways, groundwater and fragile aquatic ecosystems.

The latest developments in applying big data concepts, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to the energy sector by NETL were shared at the 2022 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Cybersecurity and Technology Innovation Conference held June 16-19 in a hybrid virtual and in-person setting.

NETL researchers have collaborated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, other contributing national laboratories and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Regional Initiative to Accelerate Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Deployment to release the report “Rules and Tools Crosswalk: A Compendium of Computational Tools to Support Geologic Carbon Storage Environmentally Protective UIC Class VI Permitting.”
