This is just amazing. More to come??

Google fuel partner Louisiana, only if you like purple and gold, they supposedly lead the process. Looks like everyone gets some part.

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.

This is bordering on woke research. Drill baby, drill. That’s where our future is.

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.”

Very good news.

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 . . .

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!

Battery is still the best temporary conserver though.

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.
