The University of Oklahoma (OU), in cooperation with NETL and industry partners, has developed an advanced retrofit kit for natural gas engines used in the gas production, gathering, transmission and processing sectors that cut emissions while enhancing performance.
As a young man, NETL’s Samuel “Sam” Oyebanjo competed as a boxer. Besides learning how to throw a jab and land an uppercut, Oyebanjo acquired values through boxing that prepared him for success in another endeavor — leading a team of accountants that oversees funding for projects to address climate change and other energy-related priorities.
NETL leadership joined local, state, and federal officials in helping FirstEnergy subsidiary Mon Power celebrate the completion of the company’s first utility-scale solar panel array — a carbon-free electricity (CFE) project made possible in part by NETL’s early first-of-its-kind commitment to purchase 100% of the power required to fulfill the electricity needs of its Morgantown, West Virginia Research Facility.
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.
A recent analysis published by Stanford University included 26 current and former NETL researchers in the top 2% of global scientists, underscoring the deep pool of talent at the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory focused on creating a clean energy future.
Throughout 2023, NETL created substantial innovations for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful products, a vital step in achieving economical decarbonization.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today issued a notice of intent (NOI) to provide funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for large-scale conversion of carbon emissions into environmentally responsible and economically valuable products. Projects will develop the sustainable feedstocks and conversion technologies necessary to produce crucial fuels, materials, and other carbon-based products that are better for the environment than current petroleum-derived components.
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 past year saw NETL achieve a number of critical successes to advance initiatives and technologies that will lower atmospheric levels of methane, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), while ensuring a safe, reliable and resilient natural gas supply chain for U.S. consumers.
The modern economy is increasingly data-driven and dependent on advanced computing at a time when the traditional semiconductor materials used for computers are reaching their absolute performance limits. This gap in materials performance is pushing researchers to develop new materials for computing microelectronics with better performance characteristics and higher energy efficiency that can also ensure supply chain security and improve sustainability.
