Controlling Risk During Major Capital Projects

Think of process safety management (PSM) as a project deliverable, and follow these best practices for scheduling and performing process hazard analyses (PHAs) and completing other PSM requirements during key phases of a major project.

Capturing CO2: Membrane Systems Move Forward

Membranes offer inherent advantages over absorption-based CO2 capture from post-combustion fluegas and pre-combustion syngas, but numerous design and scale-up challenges remain.

Renewable Power: Not Yet Ready for Prime Time

Before renewable sources such as wind and solar can contribute significantly to the overall energy mix, massive electricity storage is needed to turn the raw power into dispatchable power.

Bringing a Star to Earth

An international R&D effort to build a fusion reactor and demonstrate the feasibility of fusion power is underway.

Capturing Carbon from Existing Coal-Fired Power Plants

DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory is spearheading R&D on a variety of post-combustion and oxy-combustion technologies to cost-effectively achieve 90% CO2 capture.

Process Simulation from the Ground Up

Today's process simulators produce graphical, data-filled and detailed results that can improve the effectiveness of the engineers who use them.
