The Year in Research and Activities at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory - 2003

Highlights from 2003 activities at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are featured in this photo collection.

#12540 - Toyota Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle (FCHV), during a vehicle demonstration on April 29 at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The FCHV, a modified mid-size Highlander sport utility vehicle, uses an electric motor powered by a fuel cell and secondary battery. Powered by pure compressed hydrogen, the FCHV has a top speed of more than 95 miles per hour and a range of more than 180 miles.

#12644 - Secretary of Energy, Spencer Abraham and Congressman Bob Beauprez visit NREL: Abraham's tour of NREL focused on experimental equipment such as desiccant dehumidifiers that help remove humidity from air inside buildings more effectively than air conditioners, creating more comfort without additional energy use.

#12653 - Secretary of Energy, Spencer Abraham and Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO 7th) visiting the AFUF. The are standing in front of the solar demonstration house, Spencer Abraham talks about DOE's new website.

#12571 - Aerial view of the Outdoor Test Facility (OTF), Thermal Test Facility (TTF), and Alternative Fuels User Facility (AFUF). To see other images from this shoot, conduct search using 2003 and aerial and gretz in the search for box on the Text Search page.

#12598 - Aerial showing the visitors center. In the distance you can see the Solar Energy Research Facility (SERF). To see other new images of the exterior of the SERF, conduct search using 2003 and aerial and gretz in the search for box on the Text Search page.

#12607 - Solar Energy Research Facility (SERF), night shot in winter with snow. To see other new images of the exterior of the SERF, conduct search using 2003 and serf and gretz in the search for box on the Text Search page.

#12625 - Solar Energy Research Facility (SERF), summer with wild flowers. To see other new images of the exterior of the SERF, conduct search using 2003 and serf and gretz in the search for box on the Text Search page.

#12807 - Working with industrial partners NREL researchers have helped to develop technology to produce adhesives from wood bark rather than from fossil fuels. The bark or other biomass is pyrolyzed (heated in the absence of oxygen) and phenolic compounds useful for adhesives are produced. These adhesives can be used to produce high-performance engineered lumber. To see other lumber samples, conduct search using manufactured lumber in the search for box on the Text Search page.

#12883 - RnE²EW van; Renewable Energy & Efficiency Education on Wheels; An educational-outreach vehicle partnership between the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and BP America Inc. To see other images of this shoot, conduct search using renew and gretz in the search for box on the Text Search page.

#13052 - Golden Prairie Wind Farm near Lamar, Colorado features 108 1.5 MW GE Wind turbines. The power purchaser is Excel Energy and the owner is AEP Energy Services. To see other images from this shoot, conduct search using lamar and jager in the search for box on the Text Search page.
