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.
Natural Gas Compression Technology Improves Transport and Efficiencies, Lowers Operating Costs
An award-winning compressor design that decreases the energy required to compress and transport natural gas, lowers operating costs, improves efficiencies and reduces the environmental footprint of well site operations has been developed by a Massachusetts-based company with support from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
DOE-Sponsored IGCC Project Could Lead to Lower-Cost Carbon Capture Technologies
Changes in operating conditions coupled with changes in commercially manufactured catalysts can produce both power generation increases and significant cost savings at Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants, according to new research from a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-sponsored project.
Stent Technology Saves Lives, Creates Jobs
When people think of benefits from energy research, they usually don’t envision saving lives. But thanks to an innovative alloy jointly developed by Boston Scientific Corporation (BSCI) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) metallurgists, that’s what is happening.
DOE-Sponsored Drilling Projects Demonstrate Significant CO2 Storage at Three Sites
Evaluation-related test drilling at geologic sites in three states that could store a combined 64 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions – an important component of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology development – has been completed in projects supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Energy Department Announces New Mapping Initiative to Advance North American Carbon Storage Efforts
Today, the Energy Department joined with partners from Canada and Mexico to release the first-ever atlas mapping the potential carbon dioxide storage capacity in North America. According to the newly released North American Carbon Storage Atlas (NACSA), there is at least 500 years of geologic storage for carbon dioxide emissions in North America. These areas could be used for storing carbon from industrial sources or power plants. Identifying and deploying ways to cleanly, safely and sustainably develop America’s fossil fuel resources, including coal, is an important part of President Obama’s all-of-the-above energy strategy.
U.S. and Japan Complete Successful Field Trial of Methane Hydrate Production Technologies
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today the completion of a successful, unprecedented test of technology in the North Slope of Alaska that was able to safely extract a steady flow of natural gas from methane hydrates – a vast, entirely untapped resource that holds enormous potential for U.S. economic and energy security. Building upon this initial, small-scale test, the Department is launching a new research effort to conduct a long-term production test in the Arctic as well as research to test additional technologies that could be used to locate, characterize and safely extract methane hydrates on a larger scale in the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Novel Surfactant Formulation May Bring New Life to Mature Oilfields
A new generation of high-performance surfactants has proven successful in mobilizing residual oil in two mature fields in Oklahoma through a project supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
DOE Continues Long-Running Minority Educational Research Program
Four projects that will strengthen and promote U.S. energy security, scientific discovery and economic competitiveness while producing a diverse next generation of scientists and engineers have been selected as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) long running minority educational research program.
Obama Administration Announces New Partnership on Unconventional Natural Gas and Oil Research
Today, three federal agencies announced a formal partnership to coordinate and align all research associated with development of our nation’s abundant unconventional natural gas and oil resources. The partnership exemplifies the cross-government coordination required under President Obama’s Executive Order released earlier today, which created a new Interagency Working Group to Support Safe and Responsible Development of Unconventional Domestic Natural Gas Resources.
Opening New Avenues for High-Efficiency, Low-Emission Coal Gasification
Gasification. It’s a versatile technology that uses coal to produce power, chemicals, and fuels. Inherently low in air emissions, solid byproducts, and wastewater, commercial gasification plants have proven capable of exceeding the most stringent regulations for air- and solids-emissions. However, capital and operational costs have prohibited the widespread adoption of gasification, especially for power production—a major source of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
NETL-RUA Scans for Improved Enhanced Oil Recovery Technique
Researchers participating in the National Energy Technology Laboratory Regional University Alliance (NETL-RUA) are using a familiar piece of medical equipment – a CT scanner – to evaluate cutting-edge improvements to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. Results from these studies could be used to help increase domestic oil supplies from EOR while helping to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted to the atmosphere.
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.
