Simulation of a coal jet region. Multiphase refers to the process of changing a solid (in this case, coal) to a gas (syngas). The program allocates hours to large-scale, computationally-intensive research projects in a range of areas including fusion, climate, and materials. Image credit: Chris Guenther, NETL.

Among the technological visions that seem perpetually futuristic (think commercial nuclear fusion and maglev trains), the hydrogen economy has always been tantalizing. A massive substation at the coal-fired Intermountain Power Plant in Utah links the facility to transmission lines that deliver power to southern California.

Experts predict that by the year 2060 global warming, if left unchecked, could result in a temperature rise of seven degrees Fahrenheit higher than temperatures before the Industrial Revolution when man started widespread use of coal and other fossil fuels. The fact is, about half the world’s electricity comes from coal.
