Wyoming is pursuing export opportunity and CCTI's Dust free clean coal is the key to completing this development. Governor Gordon is all in too, he knows clean coal technology is essential for PRB coal to be competitive and safe to use and transport.
CCTI's newly designed Kiln will also extract valuable biproducts from the beneficiation of making dust free coal process. So, multiple processes in one system that will provide multiple revenue streams on a commercial scale.
The company has stated plans to implement two to three module plants, (assuming 1-2 Million ton each) in PRB area so two mines are likely. Knowing that different mines produce different BTU and mineral levels too, it would make sense to strategically place plants at different coal mines that produce different product for different applications-processes. We know the company has been in talks about this with some coal mining companies (names undisclosed) and they have previously mentioned this.
It is also worth noting that CCTI has met with the new director of school of energy resources at UW - Holly Krutka, currently the vice president for coal generation and emissions technologies with Peabody, will succeed Mark Northam as SER’s executive director. Holly-
a scientist and administrator who has spent much of her career advancing carbon capture has been selected to lead the University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources (SER).
Two leading Interior Department officials in the Trump administration embarked on a visit to Wyoming coal country last week to meet with state partners and tour the nation’s largest and newest coal mines, along the way emphasizing the president’s commitment to the industry.
Casey Hammond, deputy assistant secretary for U.S. Land and Minerals Management, alongside Lanny Erdos, deputy director for the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, met with the governor’s office and Wyoming environmental regulators on Friday to discuss President Donald Trump’s “energy dominance agenda,” among other topics.
“We always want to reiterate that the president cares about Wyoming, he cares about the mining industry and he cares about the coal industry,” Hammond said during an interview with the Star-Tribune on Friday afternoon. “We’re doing our absolute best in being a partner with the state and families of Wyoming.”
Wyoming- last legislative session passed a dozen (12) bills that promote PRB coal, clean coal systems development and created a marketing department.
In 2017- Dan brouillette, Secretary of Energy said:
Asia as the largest future customer for American coal.
“I think you're going to look for purposes of export opportunities,” he said. “Asia in particular has been a strong customer. That's why the USMCA was so important. We hope to work more collaboratively with both Mexico and Canada to find export facilities to get the coal from places like Wyoming and out in the western part over to Asia, because there's a very, very strong demand for coal.”
Africa and Eastern Europe will provide export opportunities for coal from the East Coast, he said.
East coast could use dust free coal processing too.
We could be hearing some really big announcements in coming near term.

This is where CCTI fits into play having many opportunities to plug and play its suite of technologies for use
in PRB coal and offering a dust free solution for transport of their coal. Maybe even to Africa if east coast coal producers want to build a module over Their are many opportunities for CCTI. I'm sure they are pursuing them. China's another story.
