ORD's Director Presents an Overview of NETL's Onsite Research
A National Energy R&D Resource since 1910
As the lead laboratory for DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy, NETL relies on a strong onsite research program conducted by federal scientists and engineers working in partnership with academia, other research institutions, and the private sector. NETL’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) provides the science and engineering basis for next generation technologies that will minimize the environmental impact of fossil fuel use and optimize the use of our domestic energy resources and infrastructure.
RESEARCH PORTFOLIO: NETL’s onsite research portfolio contributes to the U.S. DOE’s goals for energy safety, affordability, and national energy security. In addition to the research performed on behalf of the Office of Fossil Energy, in-house researchers are leveraging core competencies to address other research issues of national importance.
