The NETL Pittsburgh Analytical Lab performs trace-level elemental analyses on various environmental and geological samples. This lab provides analysis to the research projects conducted at NETL, and also supports the NETL Regional University Alliance. Pittsburgh Analytical Laboratory is the only lab at NETL to utilize inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, which is an analytical technique used for the detection of trace metals. It is a type of emission spectroscopy that uses the inductively coupled plasma to produce excited atoms and ions that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths characteristic of a particular element, thus giving the lab the ability to provide element specific analysis.
Another method of analysis is ion chromatography, which is a process that allows the separation of ions and polar molecules based on their charge. It is often used in protein purification, water analysis, and quality control. Multiple other methods of analysis are also employed by the lab, including mercury analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and proximate analysis.
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.

June 15-16, 2015, Ovnhallen (The Kiln) - CBS, Porcelænshaven 20, Copenhagen, Denmark
In collaboration with Copenhagen Business School, we organised our second TBLI CONFERENCE NORDIC event, addressing specifically the financial sector in Scandinavia and the UK. The program addressed topics relevant for investors and finance professionals striving to better align profits with impact - with a view across all asset classes.
This event marked the 30th TBLI CONFERENCE held since 1998.

NETL’s Albany lab specializes in metals research for energy applications, and its Fabrication Laboratory helps develop strong, durable alloys for use in energy production. Researchers in the Lab work on projects for the Department of Energy but have also developed alloys for Shell, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, GE, Pratt & Whittney-Rockedyne (P&W), medical stent applications for Boston Scientific Laboratories, and others.
Dave Luebke, an engineer in the Office of Research and Development at the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory, examines membranes used for research in NETL’s Membrane Laboratory. NETL researchers study membranes used in carbon dioxide and hydrogen separation. The use of such membranes to capture carbon dioxide in advanced power generation systems is part of NETL’s effort to control greenhouse gas emissions.

On July 2, 2014 workers with heavy equipment use a thermal desorption process in what was formerly Steven Jensen's wheat field near Tioga, North Dakota. A Tesoro Logistics LP pipeline spilled more than 20,000 barrels of crude oil into the field in September of 2013. The six-inch pipeline was carrying crude oil from the Bakken shale play to the Stampede rail facility outside Columbus, North Dakota.
Thermal desorption involves excavating soil or other contaminated material for treatment in a thermal desorber. To prepare the soil for treatment, large rocks or debris first must be removed or crushed. The smaller particle size allows heat to more easily and evenly separate contaminants from the solid material. The prepared soil is placed in the thermal desorber to be heated. Low-temperature thermal desorption is used to heat the solid material to 200-600ºF to treat VOCs. If SVOCs are present, then high-temperature thermal desorption is used to heat the soil to 600-1000ºF.
Gas collection equipment captures the contaminated vapors. Vapors often require further treatment, such as removing dust particles. The remaining organic vapors are usually destroyed using a thermal oxidizer, which heats the vapors to temperatures high enough to convert them to carbon dioxide and water vapor. At some sites with high concentrations of organic vapors, the vapors may be cooled and condensed to change them back to a liquid form. The liquid chemicals may be recycled for reuse, or treated by incineration. If the concentrations of contaminants are low enough, and dust is not a problem, the vapors may be released without treatment to the atmosphere. Often, treated soil can be used to fill in the excavation at the site. If the treated soil contains contaminants that do not evaporate, such as most metals, they may be disposed of and capped onsite, or transported offsite to an appropriate landfill.
Divest Wells Fargo - Native People Not For Sale
February 24, 2018
THUNDERBIRD WOMAN RISES AGAIN
Wells Fargo World Headquarters
San Francisco Financial District.
With a huge street mural, native people tell Wells Fargo they will not be bought off with greenwashing grant $$ while the bank extends huge lines of credit to Canadian oil corporation, TransCanada, to build the Keystone XL pipeline and others investing in fossil fuel infrastructure projects.
Grandmothers from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South Dakota join native people and allies in the Bay Area to bring Thunderbird Woman back to Montgomery Street where she made an appearance November, 2017. While sharing stories of struggle for clean land, air, water and for Indigenous Sovereignty, they call for divestment from Wells Fargo and for Wells Fargo to divest from the fossil fuel industry.

Students, faculty, and community members gather to protest at the opening ceremony of Antonin School of Law at George Mason University on October 6th, 2016. Speakers discussed financial transparency, faculty governance, undue donor influence, and the politicization of the university. The protest was the raise awareness of the university's relationship with private donors, such as Charles Koch. Red Tape was worn over mouths to symbolize not having a voice.

Power Plant at Dawn
A modern power plant is one of the most complex machines ever devised.
Pumps, pipes, valves, heat exchangers, flue gas purifiers, dust reduction, combusiton, coal handling, preperation, steam, turbines, condensers, ultra pure water, water purification, boiler chemistry, instrumentation, circuit breakers, and on and on.
All this comes together to caputre chemical energy in carbon and transform it into electrical energy.
And the amazing thing is if just one of these sytems fail, the whole things shuts down and we are left in the dark.
On May 31st New Yorkers from across the city are going to be descending on the Clean Energy Standard hearing in lower Manhattan to help spark a renewable energy revolution in the Empire State. We need you there with us for our climate, our economy, and the city we love. This is the big one.

From the toxic waste created by the extreme extraction of tar sands destroying indigenous communities in Canada, to toxins created by the BP Whiting refinery producing sacrifice communities in the Greater Chicago area, to the resultant catastrophic effect on our climate, the urgent need for a just transition away from fossil fuels to a 100% renewable energy economy is abundantly clear.

Greenpeace and Mosquito Fleet activists block a Kinder Morgan barge from entering the company’s Seattle facility by locking themselves to the pier and displaying banners. "The company's Trans Mountain Pipeline tramples Indigenous rights, threatens communities and their access to clean water, and the increased tanker traffic from the pipeline could decimate marine wildlife including the 76 remaining Southern Resident orcas,” said Greenpeace activist and Seattle resident Samantha Suarez.

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
