Huda Ashfaq, a junior at West Virginia University, is working as a Mickey Leland Energy Fellow this summer with mentor Todd Gardner to develop and test novel nanostructured catalyst materials in NETL-Morgantown’s Nano-Particle Technology laboratory. The Nano-Particle Technology laboratory was developed and commissioned by Dr. Gardner as a concept laboratory to improve NETL’s competitive posture in the nano- and catalytic sciences. The catalysts being developed are tested for their capability to produce syngas (H2 and CO) from shale gas with millisecond contact time reactions. Nanostructuring of the active sites is used to attain high activity and carbon deposition resistance during catalytic partial oxidation (CPOx). This technology will improve the overall efficiency and utilization of shale gas in the upstream oil and gas industry where significant amounts of associated gas is vented, as CH4, or flared, as CO2, during extraction of the higher value crude. The catalysts are being tailored for use in highly compact, millisecond contact time partial oxidation reactors where direct syngas production mechanisms have been reported in the literature. This topical area has not been researched to a great extent and holds great potential for future applications that reduce net carbon emissions from upstream crude production using small-scale gas-to-liquid (GTL) platforms.
Group photo from a Saudi Arabia Delegation visit to NETL on Friday, December 2.
Currently, there is a joint venture between King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST), Saudi Aramco Oil Co., and Saudi Electric Co., to support the development, operation and commercialization of an envisioned National Clean Combustion Test Platform (CCTP) to be located at KAUST. The primary focus of CCTP will be to investigate opportunity fuels and region-specific technologies within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the area of power generation.
Saudi Arabia is looking to diversify the fuel supply used to generate electric power, used in industry for heat and power, and in seawater desalination. The goal is to move away from using crude oil as a primary fuel. KAUST operates a laboratory that evaluates fuels and bench scale combustion. The CCTP will be designed to test fuels in a larger operation.
In order to move in this direction, the delegation is interested in learning about NETL’s research in chemical looping, gas turbines, burners, stationary boilers, heat recovery, how to best manage IP, and exhaust treatment to manage NOx, SOx, PM, & CO2.
Climate activists from 350.org Pilipinas suited up in inflatable Pikachu costumes and paraded across the Japanese Embassy to challenge Japan to stop financing coal as it prepares to host the Group of 20 leaders’ summit as part of the many build up actions across Asia to call on the G20 to respond with both urgency and ambition to the climate crisis.
WELLS FARGO DIVEST! A 'Block Party' on Wells Fargo's doorstep
July 14, 2023
San Francisco, CA
6 Climate Activists were arrested, cited and released on Friday as part of an action to demand a stop to the bank’s reckless funding of fossil fuels. Activists locked down in front of Wells Fargo's security gates, blocking the entrance and forcing the branch to close.
Outside, many local climate groups came together with live music, street theater, wheat paste and to paint a giant mural reading "WELLS FARGO--HEAT, FLOODS, FIRE--DIVEST FROM OIL & GAS".

The combination of speed,.accuracy, and multiple species measurement makes the gas detection system.well-suited for improving control of natural gas-fired turbines by measuring.the input-fuel composition, or filtered exhaust gases in real-time. This sensor.will greatly benefit the power industry, as well as other industries utilizing gaseous.input or output streams by enabling smarter control to increase process.efficiency and reduce emissions.
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.

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. Photo by Les Stone

Workers continue their efforts on exposed sections of the Keystone pipeline. An estimated 210,000 gallons of oil leaked from the Keystone Pipeline in Marshall County, South Dakota, according to the pipeline's operator, TransCanada. Crews shut down the pipeline and officials are investigating the cause of the leak. A federal agency says a leak was caused by damage during construction in 2008. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued a corrective action report on the estimated 210,000-gallon oil spill. The report says a weight installed on the pipeline nearly a decade ago may have damaged the pipeline and coating.

A 20-year power purchase agreement is planned for the new Kosovo C lignite power plant. How will Kosovo avoid having to recover the money later?
Coal subsidies are risky for public budgets, consumers and investors, but they're often illegal too.
The Energy Community countries – the Western Balkans, Ukraine and Moldova - are bound by EU state aid rules. Failure to follow them will cost them dearly if the aid has to be recovered.

The Greenpeace Ship Arctic Sunrise visits Elliott Bay in Seattle. n The ship is on a tour following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed. The report documents the communities threatened by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would worsen the effects of global warming, risk poisoning water, jeopardize the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on clean coasts, violate Indigenous sovereignty, and threaten the extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, of which only 75 remain.
Crews sopped up the remains of about 10,000 gallons of crude oil that sprayed into Los Angeles streets and onto buildings early May 15, 2014 after a high-pressure pipe burst. A geyser of crude spewed 20 feet high over approximately half a mile and was knee-high in some parts of the industrial area of Atwater Village before the oil line was remotely shut off, said Fire Capt. Jaime Moore. A handful of commercial businesses near the border of Glendale were affected, as well as a strip club that was evacuated. Firefighters and hazardous materials crews responded. Several roads were closed. Photo by Gus Ruelas/Greenpeace
Hazardous materials responders were on the scene of an oil pipeline rupture along the Alameda County-San Joaquin County border near Tracy, California cleaning up a spill reported to be as much as 21,000 gallons. The leak in the underground pipe, which was reported by Shell Pipeline Co. after a line between Coalinga (Fresno County) and Martinez lost pressure, was spilling crude oil into the soil but was not near any waterways where the problem would escalate. The oil release was visible on the ground in a 250-by-40-foot section, San Joaquin County officials said.

Phil Thornhill, organiser of Camp Frack, speaks at a demo in Preston.
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.
