Background/History of the Laboratory:
The National
Energy Technology Laboratory ( NETL), part of DOE's
national laboratory system, is owned and operated by the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE). NETL supports DOE's mission
to advance the national, economic, and energy security of the
United States. The only U.S. national laboratory devoted to
fossil energy research, NETL implements a broad spectrum of
energy and environmental research and development (R&D)
programs that will return benefits for generations to come:
enabling domestic coal, natural gas, and oil to economically
power our Nation's homes, industries, businesses, and
transportation, while protecting our environment and
enhancing our energy independence. NETL has expertise in
coal, natural gas, and oil technologies, contract and project
management, analysis of energy systems, and international
energy issues. In addition to research conducted onsite,
NETL's project portfolio includes R&D conducted
through partnerships, cooperative research and development
agreements, financial assistance, and contractual
arrangements with universities and the private sector.
Together, these efforts focus a wealth of scientific and
engineering talent on creating commercially viable solutions
to national energy and environmental problems.
Mission of the Laboratory:
NETL implements
research, development, and demonstration programs to resolve
the environmental, supply, and reliability constraints of
producing and using fossil resources. NETL is committed to
addressing the challenges put forth by the National Energy
Policy: enhance America's energy security; improve the
environmental acceptability of energy production and use;
increase the competitiveness and reliability of U.S. energy
systems; and ensure a robust U.S. energy
future.
