Critical Mineral Opportunities Within the Illinois Basin

Mineral resources are the essential raw materials of modern society, powering the production of advanced technologies including the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure. The United States is heavily dependent on mineral imports. Many of these sources are unstable, and their interruption can disrupt important industrial and high technology supply chains. Therefore, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently designated 50 elements and compounds as “critical minerals” and launched the Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (EMRI) to systematically increase knowledge of the distribution and concentration of these essential resources. The Department of Energy (DOE) began a complimentary effort with the Carbon Ore, Rare Earth and Critical Minerals Initiative (CORE-CM) particularly focused on recovery of critical minerals from byproducts of the extraction and industrial use of coal. This workshop will explore recent efforts from both the CORE-CM and EarthMRI programs to evaluate critical mineral resources in and around the Illinois Basin, demonstrate separation technologies of these resources, and employ associated resources such as carbon to manufacture high-value products.

Social Vulnerability Index interactice map

Social vulnerability refers to the potential negative effects on communities caused by external stresses on human health. Such stresses include natural or human-caused disasters, or disease outbreaks. Reducing social vulnerability can decrease both human suffering and economic loss.
The CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index (CDC/ATSDR SVI) uses 16 U.S. census variables to help local officials identify communities that may need support before, during, or after disasters.

Accelerating Hydraulic Fracture Imaging by Deep Transfer Learning

Deep transfer learning has a great success story in computer vision, natural language processing, and many other fields. In this paper, we are going to push forward the deep transfer learning to the hydraulic fracture imaging problem by proposing a two-step approach: 1) train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to reconstruct target geometries by a relatively large amount of approximated field patterns generated from a simplified model; 2) fine-tune the top layers of transferred CNN by a small amount of true field patterns generated through a full model. The advantages include the rapid generation of large amount of data through the simplified model and the high reconstruction accuracy through a careful design of the deep transfer learning. The CNN trained through the deep transfer learning can accurately reconstruct the lateral extent and direction of fractures with unseen conductivity and white Gaussian noise, showing a notable acceleration/accuracy enhancement over the previous CNN trained by mixing a small number of true data into the approximated data as data augmentation.

Novel, Efficient, Low Cost Technology for Direct Air Capture of CO2 and its Removal from Low Concentration Streams

During the Phase I project, Emissol LLC designed, modeled, prototyped, and tested a novel honeycomb contactor smaller than typical honeycomb contactors. The contactor was rigorously tested both experimentally and in mathematical models. Good agreement was observed between the project’s test data and math-modeling results. It was observed that the novel contactor captures and removes carbon dioxide (CO2) at a high rate while also requiring approximately 40% less sorbent than typical honeycomb contactors. This was a significant finding, as for many DAC systems the sorbent cost could be 80–85% of the total capture cost.1 Given the cost-reduction capability of the novel contactor, the total direct air capture (DAC) cost could be reduced by approximately 30%.

Bench-Scale Development of a Transformative Membrane Process For Pre-Combustion CO2 Capture

Membrane Technology and Research, Inc. (MTR) and partners Susteon and the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) are maturing technology
based on a novel, hydrogen (H2)-selective, multi-layer composite polymer membrane called Proteus™ for use in the separation of H2 from post-shifted syngas. The current project focuses on the scale-up of a second-generation Proteus™ membrane, including fabrication of high-temperature prototype modules using Gen-2 membranes and validating module performance in laboratory tests. A prototype module test system will be designed, built, and installed at EERC for parametric and lifetime testing of the modules with actual coal-derived syngas. The process will be optimized, and a techno-economicanalysis (TEA) will be updated based upon the results of testing.

Hydrogeological and Geomechanical Evaluation of a Shallow Hydraulic Fracture at the Devine Fracture Pilot Site, Medina County, Texas

UT-Austin’s Devine Fracture Pilot Site (DFPS), 50 miles southwest of San Antonio, Texas, has been targeted for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary development of fracture diagnostics techniques cross-validated by ground-truth data acquisition near a recently created, 175-ft-deep, horizontal hydraulic fracture. To evaluate the fracture-diagnostic techniques at this site, we attempted to develop hydrogeological and geomechanical models on the basis of bottomhole-pressure measurements during injection tests with a predefined volumetric flow-rate profile, resembling a diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT). History-matching efforts using a simplified layer-cake hydrogeological model resulted in the field-scale formation permeability of 9.87×10^-15-m^2 (10-mD) and Darcy-scale fracture permeability. Analysis of bottomhole pressure and injection-rate history showed that (1) the preexisting horizontal fracture was closed adjacent to the injection well and (2) the initial pump-pressure increase at a negligible volumetric injection rate led to near-well fracture reopening, conductivity increase, and abrupt injection-rate increase. To overcome hydrogeological-model limitations of predicting fracture reopening throughout injection, we extended the modeling to a finite-element, poroelastic analysis of horizontal-fracture growth using a cohesive-zone model. Using this fracture-reopening model, we were able to match the transient-pressure response during the entire experiment by adjusting the hydromechanical properties. The current study lays the foundation for future work that our team will be performing at this well-characterized fracture site.
