Bernhard Capital…isn’t that the same group that made a run a buying LUS?

Energy is energy. The trick is in harnessing it. This public service announcement brought to you by a veteran of the O&G industry for 30 years.

Carbon capture is being done so that emissions can be reduced and oil & gas and petro chem companies don’t lose their “social license to operate”.
Carbon capture and sequestration research and projects do nothing to discourage “drill baby drill.”

We work as lead often with LSU involved. In fact UL works better with some LSU colleges than LSU does within its own system. I like that we’re part of another NSF grant. We seldom smelled them before R1.

This. And look where LSU is positioned with the petrochem industry and the amount of investment their engineering programs get from those companies.

When I see things like this I am always skeptical:
. . . include biofuels, solar, CCS, blue and green hydrogen, EV and battery technologies as well as innovative energy materials resulting in significant economic development and technological successes . . .
Re: Nice little research grant
The future is Nuclear and Hydrogen.
All research funding should be going to those 2 fields while we utilize Carbon as much as possible in the most efficient way possible.
Wind/Solar/Battery destroy the environment and are terrible energy producers.

I'll agree battery is the worst producer ever.
Battery is still the best temporary conserver though.

Carbon capture is a ruse to get money the govt does not have to its friends. In order to create that pile of waste money, they are leveraging the O & G industry on the guise of climate warming and/or dirty burn.
Solar, carbon capture, wind are all ruse.
Hydrogen and Nuclear, not so much. All of that money should have been directed to those two sectors.

Oil & gas industry is getting much more involved in geothermal.
All these academic based folks and NGO groups talk about these theoretical pie in the sky ideas of clean or “renewable” energy (I believe fossil fuels are also renewable), but who actually has the expertise, ingenuity and money to make it actually happen on an efficient and economic scale?
That’s right. The “dirty” Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Industries!

The current lithium mining process is absolutely horrible for the environment, and basic human rights (child labor) as well in some countries.
However, the oil & gas industry is looking at safer, more enviro-friendly ways, such as lithium brine wells. Exxon has a huge position in Arkansas for this. Obviously, none of this can get to scale overnight, but it is being invested in.
Still, it’s your charging infrastructure across the country and the strain on the power grids. This is why we should have an “all hands on deck” approach to any energy sourcing that can be economically feasible for the developing industries and the consumers.

We are giving the future to China. We need to drop the foolish climate hoax crap and get serious.
China installs core module of world's first commercial small nuclear reactor
Re: Nice little research grant
China is also doing this while we are dragging our feet in leaving our SPR at such low levels.

Re: Nice little research grant
Some lump battery power in with other forms of energy.
Battery is not a source of energy, more of a pitstop.
Mining aside, bashing batteries would be like bashing the various fuel holding tanks along the supply chain through to the gas station.

Who is bashing the battery?

The problem is that each of these FAUX electric sources of energy are forever dependent upon the battery for storage. So, from that standpoint, the battery gets wrongfully bashed from the company it keeps.
Re: Nice little research grant
Always interesting to consider how natural gas vehicles were considered the future of “clean energy” transportation, to the extent big cities were converting their public buses and fleets to NG, to all of a sudden how NG is “dirty” and electric transportation is the future.

There has been a natural progression in energy production since the industrial revolution began. Coal to Oil to Gas. LNG is supposed to be the new frontier with Nuclear and Hydrogen on the horizon. This process has been put on hold by the "green" movement.
This movement is nothing but a facade hiding the real motives. This is a global push for power and control by socialists/communists/fascists. They have created this insane theory about Carbon Dioxide as a ruse to gain control over the actions of human beings.
You see the farmers in Europe finally revolting. It's time for everyone to wake up and realize we have all been played by a bunch of elite, evil,power hungry fascists.
UL helping fuel Louisiana’s energy management with historic grant
Since the original thread appears to have been whacked for some reason, though all it was just energy discussions which is related to this good news for our university.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is an integral part of a statewide effort that received the largest and most competitive grant ever awarded by the National Science Foundation – up to $160 million over the next 10 years. The statewide effort – Future Use of Energy in Louisiana, or FUEL – includes more than 50 public and private partners from across Louisiana.
The NSF Engines grant will support Louisiana’s energy industry, create jobs in the energy sector, develop innovative solutions to energy challenges and help train the world’s energy workforce. The NSF announced the award at a press conference on Monday, Jan. 29, in Washington, D.C.
“As a partner in the FUEL consortium team, we look forward to contributing our expertise in the evolution of the energy economy across a range of technical areas,” said Dr. Jonathan Raush, principal investigator for UL Lafayette on the grant and associate professor of mechanical engineering. “This NSF Engines award will provide opportunities to expand and strengthen both University and industry collaborations, conduct use-inspired R&D, technology commercialization and workforce development. Project focus areas of the consortium, ranging from development of the industrial hydrogen economy to water management, energy efficiency, sustainable manufacturing and more are key growth areas for UL Lafayette. Working collaboratively, the execution of these programs will help move Louisiana to be the global research and development leader for solving energy-related challenges.”
