Researchers at WestVirginia University will lead a team that will investigate ways to convert stranded gas resources into value-added liquid products that could reduce the United States’ demand for crude oil by up to 20%. —John Hu, Statler Chair in Engineering for Natural Gas Utilization at WVU.
WestVirginia University, and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) are collaborating in the $13 million field trial, located in Marshall County, W.Va. CONSOL Energy Inc., The site was chosen because of its accessibility, availability, and typical northern Appalachian topography and geology. Perfluorocarbon tracer testing.
The 70’s oil crisis came and went; the loss of USA domestic market share occurred and a recent bankruptcy wave that hit the industry. These companies have sunk costs invested in coal, gas and oil plants and are content in maximizing the return on these investments. cents/kWh in WestVirginia—a 23.59
The Houston Advanced Research Center ( HARC ) and the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University are establishing a collaborative research program to promote advanced technology for low-impact oil and gas drilling. WestVirginia University. University of Colorado. Utah State University.
The focus of the overall MRCSP program is to develop a class of carbon sequestration technologies, which includes capture and storage of carbon dioxide in deep geologic structures such as saline formations, active and depleted oil and gas fields, organic rich shales, and unmineable coal seams.
Sensing and Educating the Nexus to Sustain Ecosystems (SENSE) This project expands and enhances the capabilities of Kentucky and WestVirginia to study surface water, providing a foundation for understanding how agriculture and hydropower production affect water quality. Murray State University. David White.
Units 1 and 2 at the Pleasant Prairie Power Plant (P4) recently were retrofitted with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to control emissions of nitrous oxides (NO x ) and wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems to control sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions. This retrofit also included the construction of a new chimney.
The brake energy recovery system converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy into stored energy by compressing nitrogen gas in a storage device called an accumulator. As pumps they use mechanical energy to deliver high-pressure oil. As motors they accept high-pressure oil and deliver mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. THC (g/mi).
American Electric Power has signed on as a corporate sponsor of The Pickens Plan, proposed by oil and gas industry veteran T. We can’t significantly develop renewable energy resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and introduce competition for liquid transportation fuels without a well-designed, reliable national transmission grid.
They focused on adding to an existing LCI rather than refining the existing data and used default GREET settings with the following exceptions: they assumed that (1) corn ethanol plants use 100% natural gas process heat; (2) the ethanol produced is 100% ethanol without denaturant; (3) gasoline production is 100% conventional (i.e.,
An additional 4 billion gallons of advanced biofuels (defined by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50%) by 2022 is also mandated. Soybean oil, Energy cane, Biomass Sorghum, Perennial grasses, Woody biomass. Woody biomass, oil seed, grasses, cereal crop residue. Regional contributions. Southeast and Hawaii.
The system will operate on natural gas and connect directly to the electric grid. Highly Active and Contaminant-Tolerant Cathodes for Durable Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Georgia Tech will focus on the development of highly oxidation-tolerant anodes to reduce reoxidation caused by undesired fuel disruption, depletion, or gas leakage in SOFCs.

For example, by simplifying and shrinking the process, this approach could enable natural gas refining directly at the wellhead, saving up to half of the energy lost in the ethanol cracking process today. quadrillion BTU of energy annually, equivalent to 280 million barrels of oil, or a month’s worth of that nation’s oil imports.
July 4th thoughts on EVs BY Robert FernatT, Member of WestVirginia Electric Auto Association. This article was first posted on the WestVirginia Electric Auto Association (WVEAA) site. That is true whether the electricity is produced from solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, natural gas, or coal—it's all local.
He recognizes the diminishing power of the oil and gas industry, and embraces the imminent future of electrically powered transportation. He has also been the Secretary for the WestVirginia EAA since 2017. His Texas roots honed his arguments supporting EV industry expansion.

Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat from WestVirginia, continues to show his coal-based roots are far from gone. “It is frustrating to hear calls for a swifter transition to electrified transportation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil,” Machin said, according to Business Insider. I remember those days.
so-called “clean hydrogen,” including incentives for both its manufacture through less emissive processes (it has heretofore primarily been created using natural gas , which often comes from “fracking”) and for the purchase of vehicles – not only passenger cars such as the Toyota Mirai but commercial trucks and vans.
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, whose state of WestVirginia hosts Toyota facilities, has expressed his disapproval of the proposed $4,500 tax credit addition for union-made EVs. I mean, do we need support for gas stations? And also for oil and gas… Maybe (Tesla’s competitors) need it. “This is wrong.
“There is nothing in federal law that authorizes NHTSA to set fuel economy standards that effectively mandate the production of EVs in order to force gas-powered vehicles out of existence. Such an EV mandate would appear to violate the Supreme Court’s major questions doctrine as articulated in WestVirginia v.
