Biofuels and Batteries Gain from the System Dynamics Behind the Research

Researchers and analysts at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are using a sophisticated modeling method known as system dynamics to understand the intricacies of clean energy systems, such as biofuel economics and supply chains.

Since its creation in the 1950s by Jay W. Forrester, a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, system dynamics has become a tried-and-true method for understanding the behaviors of complex systems in terms of stocks, flows, and the feedback loops that connect them. Its applications include examining everything from public health to renewable energy systems.

NREL Helps Train the Future Carbon Management Workforce

A net-zero carbon emissions future demands a workforce with the right training and hands-on experience to help mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the industrial, transportation, and electric power sectors.

Carbon management technologies—including carbon dioxide removal and carbon capture, utilization, and storage—need a constant influx of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) talent to convert research into scalable commercial solutions.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) State-of-Industry Report: State of SAF Production Process

This series of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) state-of-industry reports aims to provide a thorough evaluation of the emerging SAF production industry, and foster communication among the stakeholders (both public and private) involved in the SAF supply chain. While the report is primarily concerned with the production of SAF, the nature of producing hydrocarbon fuels means that some of the information included will be relevant to the production of other liquid transportation fuels.

Farmers: How to actually get paid for carbon

On the Carroll Family Farm in Carthage, Ill., being a good steward of the land isn’t a new concept. The Carrolls have raised corn, soybeans and pigs for five generations and counting, implementing conservation practices for decades.

When John Carroll first heard rumblings of farmers getting paid for conservation via the carbon market, he was intrigued but skeptical.
