NETL originated from a series of predecessor organizations that began over 100 years ago. In 1910, the U.S. Department of Interior’s (DOI) Bureau of Mines established the Pittsburgh Experiment Station in Bruceton, PA, to train coal miners and conduct research on coal-mining-related safety equipment and practices. The Pittsburgh Experiment Station began coal-to-liquids conversion research in the mid-1920s, soon after several European countries had begun to pursue research in coal-based synthetic fuels. Just eight years later in Bartlesville, OK, the Bureau of Mines opened the Petroleum Experiment Station to pursue systematic application of engineering and scientific methods to oil drilling, helping the oil industry create operating and safety standards. As a result of the Synthetic Liquid Fuels Act of 1944, the Pittsburgh Experiment Station became the Bruceton Research Center in 1948.
In 1946, the Synthesis Gas Branch Experiment Station was established for government-sponsored coal-gasification research—especially producing synthesis gas from coal—at West Virginia University’s facilities in Morgantown, WV. The Station joined with two other nearby DOI groups to create the Appalachian Experiment Station for onsite coal research at the current Morgantown location in 1954.
The new U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration renamed the former DOI sites as the Bartlesville, Morgantown, and Pittsburgh Energy Research Centers in 1975. The Centers began overseeing federally funded contracts for fossil energy research and development. All three Research Centers became Energy Technology Centers in 1977 under the newly established U.S. Department of Energy. The Centers housed onsite research in coal, oil, and gas technologies and managed contracts for research and development conducted by universities, industry, and other research institutions.
In 1983, however, operation of the Bartlesville Energy Technology Center transferred to IIT Research Institute, based in Chicago, and it was renamed the National Institute for Petroleum and Energy Research (NIPER). The Bartlesville Project Office was established to oversee petroleum research activities. Then, in 1996, the Morgantown and Pittsburgh Energy Technology Centers, a mere 65 miles (105 km) apart, were consolidated under the same administration to form the Federal Energy Technology Center (FETC). The National Petroleum Technology Office (NPTO) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was established in 1998, and the Bartlesville Project Office was closed.
FETC became NETL, a national laboratory, in 1999 and was joined by NPTO in 2000. NETL opened the Arctic Energy Office in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 2001 to promote research, development, and deployment of (1) oil recovery, gas-to-liquids, and natural gas production and transportation and (2) electric power in Arctic climates, including fossil, wind, geothermal, fuel cells, and small hydroelectric facilities.
In 2005, the Albany Research Center (ARC) in Albany, Oregon, merged with NETL as a third NETL laboratory location, providing expertise in life-cycle research and advanced materials for energy system challenges. Founded on the site of the former Albany College in 1942, ARC made its mark processing zirconium and titanium. In 1985, the Center was named an historical landmark by the American Society for Metals. Today, researchers here address fundamental energy mechanisms and processes; melt, cast, and fabricate up to one ton of materials; completely characterize the chemical and physical properties of materials; and deal with the waste and byproducts of materials processes.
The Tulsa, Oklahoma, office moved to Sugar Land, Texas, in 2009.
In 2010, NETL celebrated 100 years of energy technology research and development experience.
Fossil Energy Research, Development, and Demonstration
NETL’s basic and applied research and collaboration with industry, academia, non-government organizations, and others, support the development of technologies that aim to create commercially viable solutions to national energy and environmental problems. NETL’s fossil fuel research, development, and demonstration programs focus on improving the efficient energy use and clean energy production from domestic fossil fuel resources.
Onsite research, development, and demonstrations address key energy and environmental concerns and seek to resolve issues that slow commercialization of domestic fossil fuel power systems, fossil-fuel resource development, and environmental mitigation and waste management technologies. NETL works with modeling and theoretical research as well as bench- to commercial-scale development and demonstration of technologies and concepts. The resulting work has resulted in numerous licensable patents and awards.
Coal
In response to concerns of climate change, NETL addresses critical research and development challenges for near-zero emissions power production from coal. NETL’s research, development, and demonstration—and ultimately, deployment—of advanced systems and technologies that increase overall plant efficiency while reducing emissions like carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxides (NOx) is aimed toward providing cleaner coal-sourced electric power generation. One set of goals is to improve CO2 capture and storage techniques and to develop advanced energy systems, as well as sensing and advanced process controls. NETL’s coal program also investigates a range of advances in combustion, gasification, turbines, fuels, and fuel cell technologies that can increase power plant efficiency, improve plant economics, and reduce the amount of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions per unit of electricity generated. Development of these systems is intended to enable continued use of the United States’ significant fossil fuel resources as a major contributor to the nation’s energy portfolio.
The objectives of NETL’s research in advanced energy systems are to develop a new generation of clean coal-fueled energy conversion systems capable of producing competitively priced electric power while reducing CO2 and other emissions, improving efficiency, increasing plant availability, and reducing cooling water requirements. Key aspects of this research include improving overall system thermal efficiency, reducing capital and operating costs, and enabling affordable CO2 capture. Technology research areas include gasification systems, advanced combustion systems, advanced turbines, solid oxide fuel cells, carbon capture, carbon storage, and crosscutting research.
NETL’s coal program also manages the Clean Coal Research Program’s portfolio of large-scale technology demonstration projects that test advanced technologies at full scale in integrated facilities. Final technical, environmental, and financial challenges associated with new advanced coal technologies are overcome during full-scale testing so the technologies are ready for commercial deployment. The demonstrated technologies fall under four CO2 capture pathways, each followed by geologic storage of CO2: pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxy-combustion, and industrial carbon capture and storage.
Oil and Gas
NETL research leads to technologies that support efficient, environmentally benign unconventional domestic oil and gas resources. The Lab’s research projects help encourage the development of these new technologies, provide objective data to help quantify the environmental and safety risks of oil and gas development, and characterize emerging energy resources like methane hydrate or shale gas production. The program focuses on deepwater technology, enhanced oil recovery, and methane hydrate. NETL’s research on unconventional oil and gas includes efforts for improving wellbore cement used to stabilize wells for deepwater drilling; expeditions to determine presence and volume of methane hydrate along coastlines; development of hydraulic fracturing data collection tools to improve environmental reporting, monitoring, and protection; analysis to determine alternate sources of freshwater for oil and gas development, as well as many other areas of investigation.
Energy Analysis
NETL assesses short-term trends in the energy industry and the U.S. and world economies that may impact energy production and use, and long-term trends that may modify demand for energy and influence the choice of fuels and energy production technologies after 2025. The Lab also develops scenarios for use in technology planning activities that also help quantify the benefits of the Lab’s research portfolio.
Non-fossil Energy Research, Development, Demonstration, and Deployment
NETL provides technical, administrative, and project management services to customers within DOE and other federal agencies. NETL primarily manages research, development, demonstration, and deployment activities for the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and the DOE Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE). These projects and activities are related to energy efficiency in vehicles, buildings, and manufacturing facilities, as well as the enhancement, security, and reliability of America’s electrical and natural gas transmission and distribution systems. NETL manages activities on behalf of the EERE Vehicle Technologies Office, including EERE’s efforts to advance the development and deployment of advanced vehicle technologies, including electric vehicles, engine efficiency, and lightweight materials. In addition, NETL supports administration of the Clean Cities Program, which intends to increase the use of alternative fuels for transportation by building coalitions of state and local governments, private industry, non-profit organizations, and fleet managers. For the EERE Building Technologies Office, NETL supports the Solid-State Lighting Initiative, which is pursuing next-generation lighting technologies that could replace the traditional incandescent light bulb. NETL also manages Combined Heat and Power and Distributed Generation project activities on behalf of the EERE Advanced Manufacturing Office. For OE, NETL actively participates in DOE’s activities that are intended to address potential disruptions to our nation’s energy infrastructure, such as hurricanes and other natural disasters, and is laying the groundwork to modernize the national electric grid.
Educational Initiatives
NETL’s efforts in educational outreach reflect DOE’s vision for its Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists program. NETL’s Educational Outreach Program encourages interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and careers and provides resources for interested students and educators.
The Laboratory coordinates educational projects with academic collaborators. The Morgantown and Pittsburgh sites sponsor regional Science Bowls in support of the National Science Bowl, where teams of middle and high school students compete, responding to scientific and mathematical questions. NETL provides workshops for teachers of grades K–12 and presents educational, science-based activities at local elementary schools as part of an initiative to encourage students’ interest in science. Post-secondary internships, laboratory tours, and job shadowing for high school students are among the many other educational activities NETL provides. NETL also partners with organizations that have a mutual interest in supporting STEM education.
Partnerships
NETL collaborates with industry, academia, other government agencies, and international research organizations on projects to develop solutions for our increasing energy demand. These partnerships bring like-minded organizations together to develop energy solutions. Whether by utilizing extant power plants for scaled-up testing, co-developing technology as the basis for a start-up business, or creating a toolset to further enhance the partnering company’s computer simulation capabilities, NETL scientists help state-of-the-art technologies, tools, and best practices become commercialized to benefit the public.
Carbon Capture Simulation Initiative
The Carbon Capture Simulation Initiative (CCSI) partners national laboratories, industry, and academic institutions to develop and deploy computational modeling and simulation tools that accelerate carbon capture technologies from discovery to widespread future deployment on hundreds of power plants. The CCSI Toolset provides industry end users with a comprehensive, integrated suite of scientifically validated models and software to assist them with uncertainty quantification, optimization, risk analysis, and decision-making capabilities necessary to advance energy technology.
NETL is partnering with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory on this Initiative.
National Risk Assessment Partnership
Led by NETL, the National Risk Assessment Partnership (NRAP) studies the behavior of engineered-natural systems to develop the risk assessment tools necessary for safe, permanent geologic CO2 storage. To assist in effective site characterization, selection, operation, and management, NRAP considers potential risks associated with key operational concerns, as well as those associated with long-term liabilities, such as groundwater protection and storage permanence. NRAP is developing a method for quantifying risk profiles of multiple types of carbon dioxide storage sites to guide decision making and risk management. NRAP is also developing monitoring and mitigation protocols to reduce uncertainty in the predicted long-term behavior of a site.
NRAP relies on expertise and resources from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and partnering universities and organizations.
Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships
In 2003, DOE awarded cooperative agreements to seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSPs) to develop regional carbon management plans. Geographic differences in fossil fuel use and geologic storage opportunities across North America dictate regional approaches to the capture and storage of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Each RCSP has developed a regional carbon management plan to identify the most suitable storage strategies and technologies, aid in regulatory development, and propose appropriate infrastructure for carbon capture and storage commercialization within their respective regions to safely and permanently store CO2. NETL manages the partnership and the projects.
The RCSPs are composed of more than 400 organizations covering 43 states and four Canadian provinces and include representatives from state and local agencies, regional universities, national laboratories, non-government organizations, foreign government agencies, engineering and research firms, electric utilities, oil and gas companies, and other industrial partners. The following are the seven RCSPs.
- Big Sky Carbon Sequestration Partnership
- Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium
- Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership
- Plains CO2 Reduction Partnership
- Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership
- Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration
- West Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership
U.s. Agency for International Development
From 1982 to 2011, NETL and its predecessor organizations provided technical and management assistance to the India Mission of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to aid in implementing several of its energy and environmental programs. More than 100 U.S. and Indian organizations were involved in these programs, especially in the activities related to demonstrating and deploying clean, efficient technologies for coal-power generation. During the nearly 30 years of cooperation between NETL and its partners through USAID’s programs, many firsts were accomplished in terms of technologies demonstrated or deployed or capabilities added. This includes erection and operation of India’s first fluidized bed combustion and pulverized fuel evaluation test facilities. Other activities supported include establishing India’s first private commercial non-coking coal washery, conducting the first comprehensive emissions testing at an Indian coal-fired power plant, demonstrating a U.S. microturbine using biogas, converting a diesel 3-wheeler to hydrogen, developing distributed generation technology simulators, and promoting efficient bagasse cogeneration in Indian sugar mills.
As part of this work, the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Prevention Project provided support to establish NTPC Ltd.’s Centre for Power Efficiency and Environmental Protection (CenPEEP), including two regional centers, as a national facility to introduce technology and provide training on how to improve the efficiency of existing coal-fired power plants and reduce CO2 emissions. U.S. best practices for power plant efficiency improvement and operations and maintenance were introduced and demonstrated at 17 Indian coal-fired power plants. Through conclusion of this project, an estimated total of 108 million tonnes (119 million short tons) of CO2 emissions were avoided, at a cost of about US$0.60 per ton, through power plant performance optimization and efficiency improvements, use of washed coal in existing power plants, and bagasse cogeneration at nine sugar mills.
Key Accomplishments
NETL’s research activities support technology innovation that private companies can market to improve the cost, reliability, and environmental impact of U.S. energy production and use. Spin-off technologies are commercialized by the private sector, as well, and spur economic development and support national energy security. NETL also transfers fossil fuel research information, analytical tools, and technologies to universities and colleges, other government entities, and private-sector companies. By accelerating the advancement and commercialization of beneficial technologies, technology transfer efforts maximize returns to energy consumers. Highlights of NETL’s key research and technologies follow.
Coal and Natural Gas Power Systems
- The Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program (CCTDP) was launched in 1986 as a multi-billion-dollar effort to address activities contributing to acid rain. The program’s goal was to develop and demonstrate commercial-scale clean coal technology through environmental control devices, advanced power generation, fuel processing, and industrial applications. Over the following two decades, CCTDP spurred commercialization of advanced wet scrubbers, low-NOx burners, selective catalytic reduction, flue gas desulfurization, scrubbers, and other technologies to eliminate acid rain, as well as technologies to capture mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants.
- As part of CCTDP, NETL also sponsored the demonstration of integrated gasification combined-cycle power plants at Duke Energy’s Wabash River power station near Terre Haute, IN, and Tampa Electric’s 250-MWe Polk power plant near Mulberry, FL.
- NETL’s Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) accelerated the deployment of technologies to ensure clean, reliable, affordable electricity for the United States. The program addresses combustion, gasification, multi-pollutant emissions control (including CO2), fuel processing, and other efficiency improvement technologies for coal-powered energy production. CCPI is a $2 billion, 10-year program to develop and demonstrate a new generation of power plant technologies. The program was extended after the initial time limit.
- As part of CCPI, NETL sponsored the demonstration of an integrated gasification combined-cycle power plant, Mississippi Power’s 582-MWe Plant Ratcliffe, which is currently under construction in Kemper County, MS. It is being equipped for 65% CO2 capture and geologic storage.
- NETL’s programs underpinned development and commercial-scale demonstration of fluidized bed coal combustors, which are offered today by every major U.S. boiler manufacturer because they allow greater fuel flexibility and reduce emissions of NOx and SO2. This technology has been commercialized world-wide at over 500 electric generation units, and many of them utilize waste coal, alleviating some of the environmental problems associated with waste coal piles.
- Produced in cooperation with the Office of Fossil Energy and NETL, General Electric’s H-class advanced 400 MW gas-turbine combined-cycle power plant attains the highest standards for low emissions, low cost, and high power output.
- Developed by NETL and licensed to Harbison-Walker Refractories Company, AUREX™ 95P is the material of choice for high-wear areas of advanced, high-temperature gasifiers. Its widespread use is accelerating gasification as a clean, efficient means of producing electric power and other products.
- NETL has helped the worldwide power industry realize significant efficiency gains by applying cost-efficient 9Cr-1Mo high-temperature steel to pulverized-coal power plants.
- With NETL’s R&D 100 Award-winning computer simulation platform Multiphase Flow with Interphase Exchange (MFIX), engineers can reduce the risk, time, and cost of conducting research to develop and optimize technologies for advanced fossil fuel systems.
- Advanced Process Engineering Co-simulator, or APECS, another NETL simulation software, helps researchers find solutions to systems-engineering challenges across the power plant lifecycle, which will can lead to quick and inexpensive design of efficient, low-cost, near-zero-emissions next-generation plants.
- Pyrochem Catalyst Company will intends to commercialize two NETL catalysts that reform diesel fuel to hydrogen and enable other chemical and refining processes.
- The Benfield Process—developed by NETL predecessor U.S. Bureau of Mines—uses hot potassium carbonate to remove CO2 from gases, such as those produced at natural gas plants. It was developed as part of research to reduce the cost of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis gas purification.
Natural Gas and Oil Exploration and Production
- NETL has performed extensive CO2, thermal, and chemical laboratory investigations and field demonstrations on enhanced oil recovery—which contributes more than 10 percent of U.S. crude oil production.
- In the 1980s, NETL engineers helped introduce coalbed methane to market. Today this one-time waste fuel accounts for almost 8 percent of U.S. natural gas production.
- In the 1970s and 1980s, NETL helped lead horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and high-efficiency “down-hole” tool advancements that have contributed to increased shale gas production. It now amounts to nearly 14 percent of dry natural gas produced in the United States.
- From the 1970s to the 1990s, an NETL-funded research and development project pursued microseismic monitoring of multi-stage hydraulic fracturing treatments, which would optimize U.S. production of shale gas. Commercialized by Pinnacle Technology, Inc., this service is now offered by every major oilfield service company and has been applied to tens of thousands of wells worldwide.
- NETL’s IntelliPipe™ communicates down-hole conditions in real time, reducing the risks of drilling by increasing speeds and reducing costs. IntelliPipe is commercially available through National Oilwell Varco’s IntelliServ® system.
- In the 1980s, NETL partnered with General Electric to develop diamond composite cutting surfaces, which made polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits possible. By 2002, PDC bits were favored for their drilling speed and increased bit life. The technology captured one-third of the global drill bit market.
- With support from NETL’s Methane Hydrate program, Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory developed TOUGH+/ HYDRATE, the first publicly available model designed exclusively to simulate gas hydrate reservoir behavior and production potential.
- A hydraulic-diaphragm electric submersible pump for stripper wells was developed by Pumping Solutions, Inc., (now owned by Schlumberger) in partnership with NETL. The pump moves sandy fluids through the well with much less power draw and purchase cost than comparable pumps on the market.
Advanced Materials Research
- The Kroll Process was modified by the NETL-predecessor organization the U.S. Bureau of Mines to enable affordable production of large quantities of zirconium. The process was used to supply zirconium for land-based atomic reactor use and naval nuclear propulsion, starting with the U.S.S. Nautilus submarine. Today nearly all the zirconium produced for reactor use is made using this technology. Subsequent metals and alloys processes developed by NETL were based on this process.
- Thermodynamic data is generated and published by NETL in books, bulletins, or reports as research and development guidelines leading to optimal use of mineral resources. The list of such works includes compilations of the thermodynamic properties of copper and its inorganic compounds, a similar compilation of nickel and its compounds, and several on the thermodynamic properties of 65 elements, their oxides, halides, carbides, and nitrides.
- The double vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process developed at the Albany Research Center improves on methods to prepare zirconium alloy ingots for use in the submarine reactor program. Today, nearly all commercial zirconium, titanium, and hafnium and some steel, cobalt, nickel alloys, and other metals are produced using VAR. NETL scientists are also developing an electric current locator to track the electric arcs’ positions inside the VAR furnace in real time, to help lead to consistently defect-free materials.
Non-fossil Energy
- NETL collaborated with several U.S. Army commands to develop and continuously improve P-900, a unique slotted cast-steel armor for the Department of Defense. More than 200,000 castings of the high-strength material have been produced as part of a system to protect U.S. soldiers and military vehicles.
- NETL uses its high-speed particle imaging (HSPI) system to study particle dynamics in fossil-fuel systems. HSPI also crosses research boundaries. It measured the leak rate of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Chemical-industry research consortium Particulate Solids Research, Inc., is using HSPI to improve industrial processes, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s McGowan Institute has used it to visualize blood flow in artificial organs.
- The XLamp® and the LRP-38 are highly efficient and versatile LED products offered by Cree, Inc., which incorporate a multichip technology developed by Cree in cooperation with NETL. Two buildings at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, were illuminated by more than 750,000 XLamp LEDs. Walmart has replaced standard bulbs in the produce sections of 650 of its stores with LED-based LRP-38 lamps. Both the XLamp and LRP-38 series exceed Energy Star requirements. The XLamp series LED products are high-output, heat-efficient, wide angle area lamps. The LRP-38s are versatile-application area lamps that exceed industry high-quality light standards.
- The Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prize (L Prize™) competition seeks solutions for replacing two of today’s most popular light bulbs: the 60-watt incandescent lamp and the PAR 38 halogen lamp. This challenge encourages industry to develop high-quality, high-efficiency solid-state lighting products that could cut energy use by half. The L Prize also calls for development of a “21st Century Lamp” with a lifetime greater than 25,000 hours. Phillips Lighting North America developed the winning 60-watt lamp, but other categories have yet to derive winners. NETL released the competition under direction of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
- Boston Scientific Corporation and NETL developed a unique high-density, platinum-chromium-iron alloy for coronary stents. The novel stents feature several properties superior to those in conventional stents. As of 2014, Boston Scientific had a 25 percent of the coronary stent market in the United States, and the stent was being used worldwide. In just the first year, 208,000 stents featuring the jointly developed alloy were sold.
