The United States Department of Energy last Friday announced $99 million in grants to study technology that removes carbon from industrial exhaust and uses it for other purposes, like manufacturing. More than half that money went to Wyoming’s Integrated Test Center, a facility based out of the Dry Fork Power Station in Gillette.
The same day, the DOE also announced a $3 million grant to support Wyoming-based research “focused on expanding and transforming the use of coal and coal-based resources to produce coal-based products, using carbon ore, rare earth elements and critical minerals,” delivering on a December letter of support co-signed by Wyoming Congress members Sen. John Barrasso and Rep. Liz Cheney

Wyoming rare earth elements project receives federal funding
June 25, 2020 GMT
Gillette, Wyo. (AP) A project in Wyoming to develop technologies and methods to extract rare earth elements from coal ash received more than $810,000 from the federal government.
Researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory are overseeing the project, The Gillette News Record reported Wednesday.
The project received the grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Technology Commercialization Fund.
The technology laboratory plans to establish a pilot production facility at the Advanced Carbon Products Innovation Center under development in Campbell County to demonstrate the economically viable production of elements derived from coal ash.
The University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources has validated the company’s Pristine-M technology
It has signed several license agreements for its coal upgrading technology
What Clean Coal Technologies does:
Clean Coal Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:CCTC) is developing the world’s first commercially viable and scalable coal dehydration technology that creates stable, dust-free coal.
The Madison Avenue, New York-based company’s patented Pristine-M technology puts low-quality coal through a mild gasification process, removing moisture as well as coal’s worst pollutants. Along with producing more energy than untreated coal, the refined product also produces fewer harmful emissions when burned, including carbon dioxide, sulfur and mercury. The technology, developed over ten years, has undergone rigorous testing.
