The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) for the investigation of a practical and safe natural gas storage method based on an absorption mechanism using a newly developed hydrocarbon super-absorbent polymer (SAP) called "Petrogel". All research activities would be carried out in Penn State research laboratories (University Park, PA). The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
