The Utica Shale contains about 38 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas (at the mean estimate) according to the first assessment of this continuous (unconventional) natural gas accumulation by the US Geological Survey (USGS). Click to enlarge.
Other benefits include the ability to lower plant water usage, reduce overall energy consumption, and drop GHG emissions to levels required for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Advanced Biofuel category. UGI Corporation is a distributor and marketer of energy products and services.
The Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has selected nine new projects targeting environmental tools and technology for shale gas and coalbed methane (CBM) production. WestVirginia University, Morgantown, W.Va. Ground Water Protection Research Foundation, Oklahoma City, Okla.
In an open-access paper in the journal Environmental Engineering Science , the team reports that the process successfully cleaned clean coal mine drainage while producing rare-earth elements in samples from various rivers across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and WestVirginia. CMD, coal mine drainage; TEP, trap-extract-precipitate.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has made 11 awards totaling $55 million aimed at building research capacity to develop new innovations at the intersection of food, energy and water systems and to address fundamental questions about the brain. Research at the nexus of food, energy and water. Lead organization. Description.
The Marcellus Shale contains about 84.198 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas and 3.379 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas liquids, according to a new geology-based assessment by the US Geological Survey (USGS). billion barrels of natural gas liquids.
Department of Energy (DOE) selected 16 projects to receive nearly $25 million in federal funding for cost-shared projects to advance natural gas infrastructure technology development. AOI 2: Process-Intensified Technologies for the Upcycling of Flare Gas into Transportable, Value-Added Products.
WestVirginia University, and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) are collaborating in the $13 million field trial, located in Marshall County, W.Va. These wells have been producing coalbed methane and water since 2004. Monitoring the quality of groundwater and stream water. CONSOL Energy Inc.,
This research will develop a computational fluid dynamics model to perform simulations describing the heterogeneous gas-solid absorption/regeneration and water-gas-shift reactions for a regenerative magnesium oxide-based process that removes carbon dioxide and enhances production of hydrogen in coal gasification processes.
Because CO 2 is a greenhouse gas, using it for this purpose also directly avoids emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Surfactants produce bubbles, similar to soap in water, which raise the viscosity of a fluid, in this case CO 2.
water management and treatment for power plant and CO 2 storage operations. The project has future applications for supercritical CO2 cycles in power plants, nuclear power, solar power and natural gas combined cycle units. DOE: $750,000 Non-DOE: $187,500 Total: $937,500 (20% cost share). General Electric Company. Siemens Corporation.
Last year I wrote an article — Electric Vehicles Have Lower Well-to-Wheel Emissions in All 50 States and DC Than Gas-Powered Vehicles — looking at “well to wheel” from the US Department of Energy and my own analysis of EV sales and source of electricity by state. times the number of EVs than households in WestVirginia.
Another part of the cost equation normally not considered by manufacturers is that fuel cells can often be used to heat hot water in a building, which could save building owners on expenses such as hot water heaters and natural gas use.
Earlier, an existing coalbed methane well operated by El Paso Exploration & Production had been converted for CO 2 injection, and four wells drilled to monitor reservoir pressure, gas composition, water quality, and the CO 2 plume. trillion cubic feet of natural gas from these coal seams. gigatons to 2.3
The 16 REFUEL projects seek to develop scalable technologies for converting water and molecules from the air into energy-dense, carbon-neutral liquid fuels (CNLFs) using electrical energy from renewable sources. Gas Technology Institute. High-Efficiency Ammonia Production from Water and Nitrogen (Category 1). Earlier post.)
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.,
Further, Parker Hannifin has paired a RunWise transmission with a CNG engine in the series hybrid powertrain as a one-off to test the waters for such a combination, McGrew said. 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.
SOFC technologies enable efficient, cost-effective electricity generation from abundant domestic coal and natural gas resources, with minimal use of water and near-zero atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide and pollutants. Multi-Gas Sensors for Enhanced Reliability of SOFC Operation. LG Fuel Cell Systems Inc.
In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed. WestVirginia University Research Corporation , Morgantown, W.V. Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity.
The program will encourage systems that couple large-scale physical and genetic characterization with advanced algorithms in order to accelerate the year-over-year yield gains of traditional plant breeding and the discovery of crop traits that improve water productivity, nutrient use and our ability to mitigate greenhouse gases.
Low-input cultivation of perennial plants, e.g. from short-rotation forestry and grasslands, may be an effective source of cellulosic biomass and provide environmental benefits (reduced pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions). However very few studies include water use impacts. Ravindranath et al. 2007) may not be robust. ”
Nicknamed for the pungent gas-powered railcars it adopted in the 1920s, the Skunk Train carries sightseers in (now odorless) vintage passenger coaches plus a repurposed, open-air freight car along two scenic routes into Redwood Country, one departing from each end of the line.
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.

EVs lack tailpipe emissions, sure, but producing, operating, and disposing of these vehicles creates greenhouse-gas emissions and other environmental burdens. about 60 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels, primarily natural gas, which produces less carbon than coal does. falls somewhere in the middle, deriving.
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.
Senator Joe Manchin of WestVirginia has been visibly and vocally skeptical of the electric vehicle movement, especially as he failed to support President Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan that would increase EV infrastructure. “I’m old enough to remember standing in line in 1974 trying to buy gas.
& This time, it’s a group of Republican attorneys general with Kentucky and WestVirginia at the helm coming after the Biden administration.& & WestVirginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. We just aren't buying it," Coleman said.
