National Energy Technology Laboratory

NETL is a federally operated U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory with an applied-research mission and roughly 1,470 full-time-equivalent employees. Its three R&D campuses provide specialized laboratories, computational resources, and testing infrastructure accessible through formal partnerships. An in-house partnerships and technology transfer function connects companies, universities, national laboratories, and government organizations through CRADAs, licensing, work-for-others agreements, and facility access. Funding comes primarily from DOE program offices, especially Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, with additional support from other DOE offices and federal collaborations.
