High Performance Alloy Technology to Market Support

The goal of the Technology to Market Assessment for Advanced Alloys is to identify non-technical support needs of research teams that could accelerate a path toward commercialization. The successful adoption of new technology into the market has positive impacts on direct stakeholders, taxpayers, and is important to showcase the strength of the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Crosscutting High Performance Materials program. This assessment leverages a series of proven frameworks developed by NETL support contractor innovation specialists to determine which projects within NETL’s Crosscutting Advanced Alloys portfolio are in the best position for commercialization. The projects were then assessed for specific non-technical support needs.

Advanced Sensors for Hydrogen Technology

This gap analysis study included all parts of the hydrogen value chain, from hydrogen generation, to storage, and end use, with the exception of transportation applications. While these research projects are not always commercially viable, they are important in advancing technology, and especially in reaching goals such as improved efficiency and reducing emissions. Without emissions targets enforced by the government, or incentives for industry for emissions reduction, investing in advanced technology and manufacturing system upgrades can be exceedingly difficult to justify. This analysis identifies and prioritizes sensor R&D development areas that are critical to enable the hydrogen economy.

Market Analysis: Upcycling Natural Gas Into Solid Carbon Products

The purpose of this report is to execute a market analysis to determine the potential market opportunities for natural gas-derived high-value carbon products and their associated applications. Currently, associated gas is released through the process of either venting or flaring. Vented or flared natural gas is presently lost to the atmosphere, despite the fact that it represents a significant resource of both carbon and hydrogen—two products that could have significant value. Transforming some of this underutilized supply into high-cost products could contribute to realizing the full value of United States (U.S.) natural gas resources. The products analyzed in this report are carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, synthetic graphite, and carbon black. The report also touches on the market opportunities for hydrogen, a by-product of the pyrolysis process.
