Webinar: Proposed government–provided incentives to promote the capture and u...Global CCS Institute
It is widely recognised that additional large–scale early mover projects are needed to advance CCS/CCUS. These projects will reduce CCS cost through ‘learning by doing’ and by serving as platforms to demonstrate emerging lower-cost technologies. They will also increase public confidence in the safety and efficacy of CCS. However, high capture costs and lack of incentives are discouraging new large–scale projects from entering the planning pipeline and making it difficult for existing projects to reach a financial investment decision.
The National Enhanced Oil Recovery Initiative (NEORI) and the Coal Utilization Research Council (CURC) have each developed concepts for incentivising large–scale projects through a tax credit tied to the use of captured CO2 for enhanced oil recovery. Both organisations estimate that the government would recover its credit investment within 10 years from tax and royalty revenue received on additional oil production, and that the investment would become revenue positive for the government thereafter.
A Global CCS Institute webinar was held on Wednesday 26th June where Patrick Falwell, Solutions Fellow for the Centre for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), on behalf of Judi Greenwald, Vice President for Technology and Innovation at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), discussed the NEORI concept. Patrick was joined by Ben Yamagata, Executive Director of CURC, who discussed the CURC concept.
This document provides background information on renewable energy in India. It notes that over 80 million Indian households lack access to electricity and over 800 million people rely on traditional biomass energy. Renewable energy is seen as a way to provide clean energy access and mitigate climate change. India has set a target of meeting 15% of its energy needs through renewable sources by 2020. So far, renewable energy capacity has grown significantly, especially for wind and solar power. However, there is potential to expand renewable applications beyond electricity generation for heating, cooling, cooking and mechanical uses.
The document discusses the potential for expanded use of combined heat and power (CHP) technologies in the United States. It outlines the Department of Energy's goals to increase CHP capacity to 20% through research, demonstration projects, and market transformation efforts.

NREL has developed an e-Ca test to characterize the water permeation of barrier films with high sensitivity. The test uses calcium metal traces that oxidize when exposed to water vapor, allowing extremely precise measurement of water vapor transmission rates. A diffusion spacer is incorporated to ensure measurements reflect the average permeability of the barrier. Initial tests demonstrate the e-Ca test can measure permeation rates as low as 10-7 g/m2/day, lower than commercial alternatives. This makes it suitable for characterizing barriers for applications like OLEDs and organic photovoltaics.
1) The document discusses challenges for safely designing large lithium-ion battery systems, including difficulties detecting early faults and isolating electrical faults.
2) It proposes a "fail-safe" design that uses differential current measurements between parallel cell branches to enable early fault detection. A larger current difference signal would indicate a potential fault.
3) Simulation models and initial testing confirmed that the proposed design's fault detection capability varies predictably with the internal resistance of the battery management system and produces current difference signals as expected. This validates the design's potential for safely monitoring large lithium-ion battery systems.

In March, the U.S. Department of Energy released data recorded from its Aerial Measuring System as well as ground detectors deployed along with its Consequence Management Response Teams. Today, the Department provided the following update on the information gathered by the AMS. This is the second round of data that was collected and analyzed jointly with the Government of Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). For a link to the joint monitoring data posted on May 6, visit the MEXT webpage: http://www.mext.go.jp/component/english/__icsFiles/afieldfile/2011/05/10/1304797_0506.pdf
On March 15, 33 experts from the Department’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) arrived in Japan along with more than 17,200 pounds of equipment. After initial deployments at U.S. consulates and military installations in Japan, these teams have utilized their unique skills, expertise and equipment to help assess, survey, monitor and sample areas for radiation. The 33 team members joined another six DOE personnel already in Japan.
This document is a model option agreement between a national laboratory and a company. It grants the company an option to negotiate an exclusive license to patent rights related to a specific technology. Key points:
1. The laboratory grants the company an option to obtain an exclusive license within a field of use for patents related to the technology.
2. The company pays $1,000 for the option and has 6 months to exercise it by providing a commercialization plan and development milestones.
3. If exercised, the parties will negotiate an exclusive license agreement within 120 days with terms like royalties and milestones.
4. The laboratory maintains the patents during the option period and the company may request foreign
The document describes a new pilot program from the Department of Energy (DOE) aimed at increasing the number of successful start-ups launched from DOE National Laboratories. The program offers template option agreements for DOE patents that reduce transaction costs for start-ups by lowering fees and deferring patent costs. It provides an upfront $1,000 fee, 12-month option agreements and the ability to obtain options on a portfolio of up to 3 patents from a single laboratory. The goal is to double the number of successful start-ups from DOE National Labs between fiscal years 2009 and 2021.
