United Scientific Group a non-profit organization takes the honor to invite you to the Sixth International Conference on Fossil & Renewable Energy which will be held on February 15-17, 2022 in Houston, TX. The conference follows the five successful editions held in Las Vegas (2016), Houston, TX (2018), San Francisco (2019), Houston, TX (2020), F&R Energy-2021 (Virtual), and would like to continue our successful journey further.
The mechanism behind one of the first stages of coal creation may not be what has long been thought, according to a team of researchers who found that microbes were responsible for coal formation and production of methane. The finding has implications for methane fuel recovery from some coal fields.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently recognized Penn State in its latest Top 30 College & University List of the largest green power users from the Green Power Partnership (GPP). Penn State ranks No. 14 nationally and No. 2 in the Big Ten in terms of total kilowatt-hours (kWh) used of green energy.
In order to stimulate and exchange academic ideas, present recent achievements, explore potential issues and collaborations and promote the development of dust and occupational health-related science and technologies, this year we will host the First International Symposium on Mine Dust and Aerosol Research on Nov. 15 and 16 in a hybrid mode. Our goal is that everyone everywhere can connect together as one community.

A new method improves the extraction and separation of rare earth elements — a group of 17 chemical elements critical for technologies such as smart phones and electric car batteries — from unconventional sources. New research led by scientists at Penn State and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) demonstrates how a protein isolated from bacteria can provide a more environmentally friendly way to extract these metals and to separate them from other metals and from each other.
Zuleima Karpyn, associate dean for graduate education and research in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and professor of petroleum and natural gas engineering, was named the inaugural Donohue Family Professor.
