A nice article out by WOOD describing work being done at the WyIC

-Engineering Future Ready Industries in Wyoming-

Wood has partnered with the University of Wyoming (UW) School of Energy Resources (SER) and Atlas Carbon to design a coal refinery field demonstration project near Gillette, Wyoming. The site is being developed and operated collaboratively to create and showcase a sustainable coal refinery process as well as product technologies, at pre-commercial scale, using Wyoming Powder River Basin (PRB) coal.

UW SER’s Center for Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCCC) has developed a thermochemical process technology which integrates thermal coal solvent extraction and fast thermal-pyrolysis processing- a critical part of the carbon engineering program and the process around which this project is centred. The technology efficiently decomposes coal to beneficial liquids and solids that can be used in a variety of valuable, non-energy products such as building and construction materials, asphalt products, and agricultural soil amendments. To date, the state of Wyoming has invested over $30 million on such projects.
