Researchers from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories recently gathered at NETL's Albany, Oregon site to discuss the eXtremeMAT-H2 consortium's research on developing cost-effective alloys for advanced energy systems, specifically focusing on hydrogen-related challenges. Clean hydrogen is essential for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, offering significant potential in sectors like power generation, transportation, chemicals, and industrial heating. The impact of hydrogen on alloys at elevated temperatures, particularly in terms of creep behavior, is a key area of study. The eXtremeMAT-H2 consortium aims to develop tools for predicting long-term alloy performance in hydrogen environments. NETL's leadership in advanced materials design and deployment, highlighted by the ongoing construction of the Advanced Alloy Signature Center, underscores its commitment to driving innovation in materials engineering for energy applications and national security. The consortium's advancements in alloy research and modeling tools are crucial for enhancing the reliability and safety of components operating in hydrogen at elevated temperatures, supporting the transition to hydrogen-based energy production and other applications. By leveraging its expertise and state-of-the-art facilities, NETL is at the forefront of advancing sustainable energy solutions and ensuring environmental sustainability for all Americans.
