Technology Transfer Program: FY 84

The Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) Technology Transfer Program is envisioned as the last step in the fossil energy research and development (R and D) process. The intent of this Technology Transfer Program is to make the information on METC fossil energy technologies available to appropriate users for their consideration, adoption, and use. The concept on which this Technology Transfer Program is based centers around the lead laboratory R and D mission areas. The 13 fossil energy technology areas for which METC is responsible supply the technical information dissemination base for which the various technology transfer mechanisms function as information dissemination channels to users. Technology transfer is therefore the way of doing business for this Energy Technology Center. The 13 METC fossil energy R and D lead mission technologies are: coal gasification, fluidized-bed combustion, gas stream cleanup, heat engines, fuel cells, components, instrumentation and control, low-rank coals, unconventional gas recovery, oil shale, tar sands, underground coal gasification, and Arctic and offshore technologies.
