WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) intends to make approximately $122 million available, through a competitive process, to establish coal products innovation centers. The innovation centers will focus on manufacturing value-added, carbon-based products from coal, as well developing new methods to extract and process rare earth elements and critical minerals from coal...
Examples of U.S. coal basins, which could host an innovation center, include: the Appalachian basin (KY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV), the San Juan River-Raton-Black Mesa basin (AZ, CO, NM), the Illinois basin (KY, IL, IN, TN), the Williston basin (MT, ND, SD), the Powder River basin (MT, WY), the Uinta basin (CO, UT), the Green River-Wind River basin (CO, WY), the Gulf Coast-Black Warrior basin (AL, AR, LA, MS, TX), and Alaska, covering 22 states.
The funding for the innovation centers will be provided from the new Carbon Ore, Rare Earths, and Critical Minerals (CORE-CM) Initiative, which is sponsored by DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy. The funding will be made available through one or more Funding Opportunity Announcements issued this summer by DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
