WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $17.5 million in funding to advance technologies that capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial facilities and power plants and convert those CO2 emissions into valuable products.
The National Experimental Turbine (NExT) initiative, located at the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) Steady Thermal Aero Research Turbine (START) Lab and supported by NETL and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for more than a decade, has advanced turbine design to help modernize the nation’s energy infrastructure and lead the way to fewer emissions in the power sector.
With insights from custom mapping and data science analyses, NETL is helping prioritize energy communities and spotlight opportunities for economic improvement and environmental justice in a changing energy landscape.
Washington — The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced it is making up to $27 million available through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to support the transport of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from industrial and power generation facilities, as well as from legacy carbon dioxide emissions captured directly from the atmosphere, to locations for permanent geologic storage or conversion to useful products.
Zanskar Geothermal and Minerals Inc. (Zanskar), with NETL support, recently concluded a project that developed a deep learning tool for subsurface monitoring that could help ensure safe storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) at geologic sites, which is critical for meeting the nation’s decarbonization goals.
NETL and United States Steel Corporation plan to test an advanced membrane technology to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated by steelmaking operations at the Company’s Edgar Thomson Plant, located in Braddock, Pennsylvania.
Research by NETL and its partners is advancing discoveries to produce graphite — a material whose unique properties make it an essential component for mass-producing battery electric vehicles (BEVs), energy storage systems and other green technologies — from unwanted carbon waste materials.
The NETL-supported Interagency Working Group on Coal and Power Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization (Energy Communities IWG) is providing centralized, easy-to-navigate tools and resources that help communities discover and access a range of federal funding that helps ensure that no communities are left behind during the nation’s transition to a clean energy economy.
NETL will leverage its technical expertise and successful track record of innovation to help lead a $1.3 billion interagency initiative to reduce methane emissions — a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) and major driver of climate change — across the U.S. oil and natural gas industry.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) NETL-led Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) Initiative has funded 24 and is currently negotiating 20 additional projects around the country to address key gaps on the critical path toward commercial carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment. These projects are the first of many, that will de-risk geologic storage capacity across the United States (US), while initiating the storage infrastructure of the future.
