The Severe Environment Corrosion Erosion Facility is a multi-laboratory, modular facility that allows researchers to safely examine the performance of materials under conditions ranging from atmospheric corrosion to highly corrosive and/or erosive environments similar to those existing in fossil fuel power plants and gasifiers. Researchers can use the facility to conduct experiments at low or high temperatures, in pure- or mixed-gas environments, and in pure- or mixed-gas/liquid environments. The laboratory features a safety system that detects gas leaks both inside and outside of the lab’s six research modules, each of which can be exposed to 11 different gases or dry air. Research conducted at the facility supports NETL’s investigations into oxy-fuel combustion oxidation, refractory materials stability, and fuels. It also sheds light on how existing power plants, which subject materials to extremely harsh conditions, can best be upgraded.

NETL’s Severe Environment Corrosion Erosion Facility in Albany studies how new and old materials will stand up to new operating conditions.
Work done in the lab supports NETL’s oxy-fuel combustion oxidation work, refractory materials stability work, and the fuels program, in particular the hydrogen membrane materials stability work, to determine how best to upgrade existing power plants.
NETL’s Analytical Laboratory in Albany is equipped to aid researchers in analyzing materials on a micro scale in simulated environments, which helps to discover properties that can affect processing at the macro scale. This research also ensures that materials used in the energy industry are long-lasting and durable, in turn, keeping maintenance and replacement costs low.

A penguin ice sculpture near the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Greenpeace activists across the world have placed penguin ice sculptures outside government buildings to call for a global ocean sanctuary. From Seoul to London, Buenos Aires to Cape Town, the melting ice penguin sculptures were installed in 15 countries to send a message to governments about the impact of climate change on ocean wildlife.
A Break Free From Plastic message lights up the night near the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington.
It’s already no secret that big brands are driving the plastic pollution crisis. In 2020, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestlé were once again named the world’s biggest corporate polluters. These companies' business models are built on greenwashing customers into falsely believing recycling will fix plastic pollution. It is also built on keeping the fossil fuel industry in business by continuing to churn out a never ending supply of cheap, single-use plastic.
As the fossil fuel industry doubles down on plastic bottles and packaging, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestlé will be the next key villains in driving the climate crisis. 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, like fracked gas and oil, and it contributes to climate change at every step of its lifecycle, from extraction to refinement, manufacture, transportation, disposal, and waste.

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.

Greenpeace USA activists sailed out on the San Francisco Bay with a message for Congress and the oil industry. The activists displayed a banner reading “Oil Is Over, The Future Is Up to You” next to the Amazon Falcon, one of dozens of crude oil tankers stuck off the California coast as the oil industry grinds to a halt. This action comes as Congress begins negotiations on the next COVID-19 stimulus package, and as the oil industry unleashes a lobbying frenzy in hopes of securing taxpayer dollars to prop up its obsolete business model.
ALBANY, NEW YORK, USA -- Friday, May 13th, 2016. A kayak flotilla take part in a Break Free action on the Hudson River.
Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.

The second California based Fire Drill Friday takes place in the District 15 area of Los Angeles. The area is home to the massive oil and gas fields that are quite literally poisoning and killing people. Speakers include: Gloria Arellanes, a member of the Gabrieleno/Tongva Tribe; Jocelyn Moguel, a strong young leader born and raised in Wilmington, CA.; Doctor Saba Malik, a second year family medicine resident at Harbor UCLA Medical Center; Jovan Houston, an aviation service worker at Los Angeles International Airport and rank and file leader SEIU United Service Workers West; Magali Sanchez-Hall is a long-time resident of Wilmington and an environmental justice activist working alongside environmental justice organizations.
Helping with speaker introductions are: Billie Lee; Lana Parrilla; Sam Waterston; Josh Pence; Rosanna Arquette; Diane Lane; Saffron Burrows; and Lily Tomlin .

The GAIA facilities let researchers coordinate their datasets using top-of-the-line research computers with key software, such as ArcGIS, Petra, GoldSim, and Earthvision. They can then collaboratively visualize, interpret, analyze, and model geospatial data sets from the lab or the real world. These science-based analyses inform our understanding of these systems, expose knowledge gaps, and drive further research. The integrated and collaborative setting of the GAIA facilities assists knowledge-sharing across projects and disciplines, improving our chances of solving energy issues related to these systems.
