NETL scientist Steven Woodruff is evaluating a photonic crystal optical fiber as a Raman sensor for gaseous materials. The hollow core fiber enables a significant enhancement of the Raman signals from gas phase components, such as the hydrocarbons in natural gas and the hydrogen and carbon monoxide in syngas. Raman sensing also permits measurements of homonuclear diatomics such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.

Activists hold up letters spelling out the words “Break Free From Plastic” near the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. July 2, 2020. U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and U.S. Representative Alan Lowenthal (D-Calif.), have introduced their landmark legislation, the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act. Thanks to the Act we are not powerless in the fight to hold billion dollar corporations accountable for the single-use plastic crisis. This groundbreaking legislation is a comprehensive solution to tackle plastic pollution and shift the industry from a broken recycling system to reuse and refill solutions for plastics.
Fossil fuel consumption is expected to increase as both pouplation and per-capita consumption rates increase. Currently fossil fuels meet approximately 86 percent of our energy needs. Worldwide energy consumption is expected to increase by 50 percent in 2030 with fossil fuels continuing to meet the majority of energy demands.

NETL researcher Kelly Rose evaluates a natural gas hydrate research core from India's NGHP-01 natural expedition in 2006 aboard the research vessel Joides Resolution.
Washington DC, November 15 2016. A diverse crowd of around three thousand fired up activists variously affiliated with over a hundred different groups gathered in front of offices occupied by the Army Corps Of Engineers (and other agencies including the GAO...) for a rally and march to protect the midwestern plains water and land that rightfully belongs in perpetuity to Native American people. A core group of speakers travelled here from the Dakotas to lead the action. There is some slim hope that President Obama can be persuaded in the waning days of his presidency to refuse 'right of way' on Federal lands for the Dakota Access Pipeline. There was a sad, poignant vibe to the event because the DAPL poisonous snake will almost certainly be 'fast tracked' by the incoming Trump administration. President Elect Donald J. Trump is an investor in the pipeline. The company largely responsible for the pipeline project is headed by a very rich Texan folk music enthusiast/opportunist/OK guitar player who seems to have little understanding of what most folk musicians are trying to express.
The Greenpeace thermal airship A.E. Bates flies by Glacier National Park near St. Mary's, Montana on August 5, 2014. The Greenpeace One World Balloon was also on the scene. The airship flew with banners reading, "Coal exports fuel climate change" and "Keep our coal in the ground" to highlight the risks of coal export and mining. Coal mining companies are trying to boost exports of publicly owned coal in Montana and Wyoming to Asia, which would mean more carbon pollution and disruption to the environment and communities in the Western United States.

The CT Scanner Laboratory provides imaging data that can be used for computer simulations, economic evaluations, and site characterizations. The scanner generates a three-dimensional (3-D) image of an object's structure by collecting and combining many 2-D X-ray images. Coal, rock, and other geological samples are imaged to measure how liquids, gases, and solids flow through them, or to measure other rock-fluid phenomena, such as how CO2 is adsorbed or absorbed in coal cores. The measurements provide information on the actual distribution of minerals and fluids inside samples, rather than providing merely average measurements.

The Greenpeace Airship A.E. Bates flies over the Decker Coal Mine in Decker, Montana on August 7, 2014. The owner of the Decker coal mine, Ambre Energy, is seeking to expand its access to publicly owned coal as part of its controversial proposals to export coal through Oregon and Washington. Greenpeace is calling on Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to stop selling publicly owned coal at subsidized prices. Photo by Greenpeace
