Trump officials talk up clean coal with Canadian premier

By John Siciliano (@JohnDSiciliano) • 4/4/17 8:20 PM
Senior members of President Trump's Cabinet, as well as previous energy advisers, met with the Canadian premier of Saskatchewan on Tuesday to discuss how the two countries can work together to develop clean coal technologies.

Premier Brad Wall began his talks with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt to discuss "how the path forward on clean air and water can also strengthen our economies," Pruitt said.

"Saskatchewan is one of Canada's main energy-producing provinces and an important ally on energy trading and protecting our global environment," the EPA chief said.

Wall said he floated a plan for the U.S. and Canada to "work together on a continental approach to energy and the environment that focuses on technological innovation," including advanced carbon capture technology for coal-fired power plants and other "clean coal initiatives without tax and regulatory policies that cost jobs."

Pruitt's emphasis on "clean air and clean water," and Wall's mention of regulatory cost, heavily suggest that working on climate change won't be part of that cooperation. Wall's province has debated placing a carbon tax on its large fossil fuel producers, but opposition to the idea is growing.

Clean coal projects in his province have been touted for their commercial viability and proximity to be tied into the U.S. electric grid. In the past, Wall's province had lobbied the Obama administration to look to the province for help in making clean coal a part of a climate change solution. But even though the province Boundary Dam carbon capture plant has been operating for nearly three years, it has been plagued by setbacks, including the high cost of operation.

Wall also visited with former Trump energy adviser Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., while in Washington. Wall and Cramer discussed cooperation on oil fracking in the Bakken area of North Dakota, the Keystone XL pipeline and the future of the North America Free Trade Agreement, Cramer tweeted on Tuesday.

They also discussed other "trade issues for an energy secure North America!" he said.

"We're in Washington meeting with senior members of President Trump's cabinet and congress to make the case that free trade between Canada and the United States means more jobs for both our countries, especially for trade-exposed provinces like ours," Wall said.

IMO, the new administrations energy focus creates an ideal climate to jump in the clean coal technology sector with both feet so great to hear Monday's CC indicating the acquisition is making meaningful progress :-)

Also, in October last year, there was a talk about acquisition of a coal combustion technology company. Can you give us an update on that?

Yes, that is ongoing. We’re actually actively in discussions to continue to advance the opportunity. Obviously, it’s something that we’ve not probably provided an update on, so want to be careful of exactly what we discuss. But, the transaction is making meaningful progress.
