RSS Feed
RSS, sometimes known as Really Simple Syndication, is a popular means
of sharing content (such as news headlines) without requiring readers to
constantly visit a Web site to see what's new. RSS feeds contain headlines
and hyperlinks to longer articles or Web pages.
Facebook
Facebook is a free social networking website on which users join networks organized by city, region, workplace, or school to connect and interact with others. Profiles and company pages display content such as links, pictures, and videos which are posted by individuals and shared through a user’s networks.
Twitter
Twitter is a free micro-blogging website that allows its users to post and view other users’ updates, known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts limited to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users (known as followers), who have subscribed to receive these updates on their homepage. Tweets may contain links to websites, articles, or videos that users wish to share.
LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a networking website used for professional and business-related networking. The site allows registered users to manage a list of contact details of people with whom they have done or may potentially do business—a list known as connections. User profiles act as online resumes and enable users to search job listings, post job announcements, and link with their employer’s profile to find colleagues.
YouTube
YouTube is a video sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. User profiles, known as channels, display videos posted by the user, show video statistics (views, comments), and list subscribers, or followers, of the channel. Videos can also be viewed from the YouTube homepage by entering desired topics into the search field.
Clean Energy Technologies a Focus of Chemical Engineers' Annual Meeting
The role of clean energy technologies in building a strong economy and improving quality of life is just one of the wide-ranging topics that will be covered at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), to be held October 28 through November 2 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.
FE Teams Earn Secretary of Energy Achievement Awards
Secretary of Energy Steven Chu today honored two Office of Fossil Energy (FE) groups – the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) Coronary Stents Team and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve’s (SPR) 2011 Drawdown Team – with Secretary of Energy Achievement Awards for exceptional performance in carrying out the Department’s mission.
Updated CCUS Best Practices Manual Available
An updated manual outlining best practices for monitoring, verification, and accounting of CO2 stored in geologic formations is now available on NETL’s carbon storage reference shelf. The new publication is one in a series of manuals on current best practices associated with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).
New Wastewater Treatment Facilities To Open With DOE-Tested Technology
Two new plants for treating shale-gas wastewater are set to open this month in western Pennsylvania. Using a unique, patented water desalination process developed with support from NETL, the plants actually exceed the state's discharge water quality standards.
DOE AVESTAR Center Deploys 3-D Virtual Training System
The U.S. Department of Energy’s AVESTAR™ Center has taken a major step forward with the successful deployment and site acceptance testing of a new 3-D virtual immersive training system for integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants with carbon capture. The training center, launched in 2011, continues to build its portfolio of dynamic simulators, virtual plant technologies, and advanced research capabilities to satisfy industry’s growing need for training and experience in the operation and control of high-efficiency, near-zero-emissions energy plants.
National Energy Technology Laboratory Captures Three Sustainability Awards
When the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) called on employees to meet sustainability goals by initiating environmental, energy, and economic improvements, the Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) answered the call—and captured three Departmental Sustainability Awards for its efforts.
Energy Department Announces Major Milestones for Decatur, Ill. Clean Coal Project
Today, the U.S. Energy Department marked two important milestones in the Illinois Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage (ICCS) project in Decatur, Illinois, a major clean coal project and the Department’s first large-scale industrial carbon capture and storage demonstration project. The Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) marked the progress made on construction on the project’s storage facility, as well as the public opening of the National Sequestration Education Center. The Center was funded in partnership with the Richland Community College and will contain classrooms, training, and laboratory facilities, offering students associate degrees in sequestration technology. Once fully operational in 2013, the Illinois project will be able to store 1 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year and will help demonstrate the feasibility and reduce the cost of clean coal and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies.
First-Generation Risk Profiles Help Predict CO2 Storage Site Obstacles
In support of large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects, a collaboration of five U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories has completed first-generation risk profiles that, for the first time, offer a means to predict the probability of complications that could arise from specific carbon dioxide (CO2) storage sites.
International Experts on Clean Coal, Carbon Capture Technologies to Meet at Pittsburgh Coal Conference
The role of fossil fuels in the global energy portfolio, reducing the environmental impacts of coal-based energy systems, and recent advances in clean coal technology are just some of the subjects that will be discussed at the 2012 International Pittsburgh Coal Conference to be held October 15–18 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Energy Department Advances Research on Methane Hydrates - the World's Largest Untapped Fossil Energy Resource
The Energy Department today announced the selection of 14 new research projects across 11 states that will be a part of an expanding portfolio of projects designed to increase our understanding of methane hydrates’ potential as a future energy supply. Methane hydrates are 3D ice-lattice structures with natural gas locked inside, and are found both onshore and offshore – including under the Arctic permafrost and in ocean sediments along nearly every continental shelf in the world. Today’s projects build on the completion of a successful, unprecedented test earlier this year that was able to safely extract a steady flow of natural gas from methane hydrates on the North Slope of Alaska.
The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy typically manages more than 500 active research and development projects spanning a wide range of coal, petroleum and natural gas topics. You can access information on each of these projects from the Fossil Energy Online Project Database.
