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.
