Many of the world’s most talented energy technology experts call NETL home, and a recent analysis published by Stanford University underlines this fact, listing 25 current and former NETL researchers as being in the top 2% of global scientists.
An NETL researcher who has led the development of a groundbreaking process to extract rare earth elements and critical minerals (REEs-CMs) from coal and coal byproducts will receive the Professional Excellence Award from the Association for Women Geoscientists.
The association will present the award to Christina Lopano for outstanding contributions in the government/regulatory category at its awards breakfast on Monday, Oct. 10, 2022, in Denver.
The University of North Dakota’s Energy & Environmental Research Center’s (EERC) Produced Water Management Through Geologic Homogenization, Conditioning and Reuse (GHCR) project — funded by NETL and developed in partnership with the North Dakota Industrial Commission Oil and Gas Research Program and Nuverra Environmental Solutions — is a finalist in the Oil and Gas category of the 2022 Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Global Awards.
A cutting-edge optical fiber sensor technology developed by the University of Pittsburgh and NETL that provides unprecedented measurement capabilities in environments previously thought impossible to probe has earned a 2022 R&D 100 Award.
NETL’s Targeted Rare Earth Extraction (TREE) process, a groundbreaking approach to recover critical materials from coal and coal byproducts for manufacturing computers, clean energy technologies, defense systems and more, has been named a finalist in the 2022 R&D 100 Awards competition.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) produced water optimization program, PARETO, developed by NETL and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), was named a winner in Hart Energy’s 2022 Special Meritorious Awards for Engineering Innovation (MEAs) for its water management capabilities.
NETL’s work to evolve advanced vehicle technologies, including electric vehicles, and expand their use on American highways has been recognized for excellence by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy’s (EERE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO).
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.
The accomplishments of NETL’s Richard Dennis to advance the development of high-efficiency turbines for low-cost power generation were recognized at Turbo Expo 2022, a conference held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, for world leaders in the fields of turbomachinery and propulsion engineering.
Two NETL staff members who specialize in executing partnership agreements to enable the real-world application of the Lab’s expertise and technology were recognized for excellence at the 2022 Spring Meeting of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Technology Transfer Working Group.
