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.
NETL Earns Carnegie Science Awards for Advanced Materials, Corporate Innovation
For its leadership and innovation in science and technology, the Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory has earned two Carnegie Science Awards from the Carnegie Science Center. NETL representatives will receive the Advanced Materials Award and the Corporate Innovation Award at the 17th annual award ceremony to be held May 3, 2013, at Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh.
NETL Research Results in New U.S. Patents
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) received nine patents in 2012 for innovations that address the Nation’s energy challenges. The patents include an integrated process for removing pollutants from fossil-fuel combustion systems; a metallurgical melting process to produce defective-free metal ingots; catalysts that make it easier to reform hydrocarbon fuels; stainless steel compositions and heat treatment processes to enhance stainless steel durability; a method to measure the circulation rate of coal solids in gasification reactors; and a process to separate and purify carbon dioxide (CO2). Deployment of these technologies will enhance energy efficiency, improve metallurgical processes, and allow for better emissions monitoring and control.
Researching the Climate Change Implications of Methane Hydrates
What role do methane hydrates play in the global carbon cycle? How might Earth's vast stores of hydrates respond to a warming climate? What impacts could large-scale gas hydrate dissociation have on the world's environment? Working with other federal agencies and academia, NETL seeks to answer these and other vexing questions about methane hydrates or "fire ice."

DOE-Supported Project Advances Clean Coal, Carbon Capture Technology Researchers at The Ohio State University (OSU) have successfully completed more than 200 hours of continuous operation of their patented Coal-Direct Chemical Looping (CDCL) technology - a one-step process to produce both electric power and high-purity carbon dioxide (CO2). The test, led by OSU Professor Liang-Shih Fan, represents the longest integrated operation of chemical looping technology anywhere in the world to date.
New Set of Computational Tools and Models Expected to Help Enable Rapid Development and Deployment of Carbon Capture Technologies An eagerly anticipated suite of 21 computational tools and models to help enable rapid development and deployment of new carbon capture technologies is now available from the Carbon Capture Simulation Initiative (CCSI). The toolset developed by CCSI, a public-private partnership led by the Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory, will help meet an urgent need by industry to take carbon capture concepts from the laboratory to the power plant more quickly, at lower cost and with reduced risk.
Breakthrough Large-Scale Industrial Project Begins Carbon Capture and Utilization A breakthrough carbon capture, utilization, and storage project in Texas has begun capturing carbon dioxide and piping it to an oilfield for use in enhanced oil recovery. The project at Air Products and Chemicals hydrogen production facility in Port Arthur, Texas, is significant for demonstrating both the effectiveness and commercial viability of CCUS technology as an option in helping mitigate atmospheric CO2 emissions.
New Agreement Makes Innovative NETL Simulator Training Available to Pierpont Students
Community and technical college students in West Virginia will learn about the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of clean energy plants utilizing unique simulator based training in a new agreement signed with the Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
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.
