Modeling Tomorrow's Energy Technologies
Modeling Tomorrow's Energy Technologies (July 2008)
NETL's award-winning computational models and simulations are helping industry to design advanced power plants that will provide clean, affordable, abundant, and secure energy far into the future. This video shows the power of one of these models: the Advanced Process Envineering Co-Simulator (APECS). While models of single pieces of equipment offer answers to local design questions, APECS allows researchers to couple detailed equipment models with process-wide simulation for a breakthrough understanding of the overall plant.

Gasification: A Cornerstone Technology (Mar 2008)
NETL is a leader in the science and technology of gasification - a process for the conversion of carbon-based materials such as coal into synthesis gas (syngas) that can be used to produce clean electrical energy, transportation fuels, and chemicals efficiently and cost-effectively using domestic fuel resources. Gasification is a cornerstone technology of 21st century zero emissions powerplants.

Pillared Layered Compound
New NETL Material Exhibits Unusual Gas Adsorption Behavior (Dec 2007)
NETL researchers have created a new adsorbent for carbon dioxide that shows very unusual behavior. NETL is exploring possible applications of this unusual adsorption behavior in the areas of gas separation, gas purification, and in gas sensing devices. The adsorbent is a flexible pillared-layer compound. It is one of a new class of materials, called metal organic framework or MOF.

Fuel Cell Testing Platform (Nov 2007)
Discusses the NETL-developed Multi Cell Array mobile platform for testing solid oxide fuel cell performance, when operated on coal-derived syngas. It also discusses the role of NETL's Gas Chromato-graph Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer, used to study the effects of specific elements on fuel cell performance. The integrated mobile platform is scheduled to be deployed to the PSDF in 2008.

Carbon Sequestration photo
NETL’s Carbon Sequestration Program (Mar 2007)
NETL’s Carbon Sequestration Program is helping to develop technologies to capture, purify, and store carbon dioxide (CO2) in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions without adversely influencing energy use or hindering economic growth. Carbon sequestration technologies capture and store CO2 that would otherwise reside in the atmosphere for long periods of time.

Carbon Sequestration in Soils of Restored Tidal Marshes (Dec 2006)
Terrestrial sequestration is the enhancement of CO2 uptake by plants that grow on land and in freshwater and, importantly, the enhancement of carbon storage in soils where it may remain more permanently stored.  Terrestrial sequestration provides an opportunity for low-cost CO2 emissions offsets.

High temperature metal sorbent (July 2006)
NETL inventors Evan Granite and Henry Pennline discuss mercury detection technology. Their new invention detects mercury in flue gases, which will make it possible for power plants to verify that they are complying with regulations either issued or pending at the Federal level and in 26 states. NETL has applied for a patent. The detection technology can be used with any mercury removal technology to determine how much mercury is present before the coal is burned and how much remains after combustion. The technology is a spinoff of the GP-254 removal technique which irradiates flue gas with ultraviolet light.
