2012 Technology Readiness Assessment—Analysis of Active Research Portfolio [PDF-7.27MB] (Dec 19, 2012)
Consistent with ongoing efforts to supply policy makers with clear information in a form more amenable for them to gauge the maturity of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has undertaken an assessment of its “key technologies.” The Department of Energy-Fossil Energy Technology Readiness Assessment Guide (DOE-FE Guide1) served as the basis for a comprehensive and formal evaluation of the maturity of NETL’s key technologies. This effort involved a three-step process:

Hydrogen from Coal Multi-Year RD&D Plan
DOE has released the External Draft of its 2010 Hydrogen from Coal Multi-Year RD&D Plan [PDF-1.3MB] (Sept 2010). This update of the Plan describes RD&D activities that include development of hydrogen separation membranes and other advanced technologies that efficiently produce high purity hydrogen from coal for stationary power production. When combined with carbon management technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and coal-biomass co-utilization, these next generation power plants will achieve significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with low electricity costs.

Affordable, Low-Carbon Diesel Fuel from Domestic Coal and Biomass [PDF-4.8MB] (Jan 2009)
This study evaluates how the conversion of coal and/or biomass into liquid transportation fuels could be used as a near-term pathway to concurrently address our nation's key energy-related objectives:  energy supply security, economic sustainability, and mitigation of global climate change.

NETL Test Protocol Testing of Hydrogen Separation Membranes
The NETL Test Protocol for Testing of Hydrogen Separation Membranes [PDF-450KB] (Oct 2008) was developed to determine the performance of hydrogen separation membranes for use in a gasification-based process to produce hydrogen from coal. The Test Protocol enables NETL to clearly state expectations to contractors and compare hydrogen separation membranes on a common basis.

Hydrogen Posture Plan
The Hydrogen Posture Plan [PDF] (Dec 2006) was prepared by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance with Section 804 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Mitretek Report
This Mitretek Report [PDF-452KB] (July 2004) examines current and advanced technologies to produce hydrogen from coal. The performance and economics of these technologies are analyzed including configurations for carbon sequestration. For comparison, the economics of producing hydrogen from natural gas and photovoltaic (PV)/water electrolysis are included.

Fossil Energy Hydrogen Program Plan
This FE Hydrogen Program Plan [PDF-1.6 MB] (June 2003) focuses on the research, development and demonstration (RD&D) activities that are required to develop advanced hydrogen production, storage and delivery technologies from fossil fuels. The result of these activities will improve current technology and make available new, innovative technology that can produce and deliver affordable hydrogen from natural gas and coal with significantly reduced or near-zero emissions.

National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap
The National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap [PDF-2MB] (Nov 2002) outlines key issues and challenges in hydrogen energy development and suggests paths that government and industry can take to expand use of hydrogen-based energy. Hydrogen offers the long-term potential for an energy system that produces near-zero emissions and is based on domestically available resources.

A National Vision of America’s Transition to a Hydrogen Economy-to 2030 and Beyond
The National Hydrogen Vision [PDF-1MB] (Feb 2002) was published as a result of the Hydrogen Vision Meeting. This document summarizes the potential role for hydrogen systems in America's energy future, outlining the common vision of the hydrogen economy.
