Clean Coal Energy

Researchers at the Energy Center are developing ways to utilize the nation’s coal resources in a manner that produces near zero emissions and promotes acceptable environmental standards.  The Coal Transformation Laboratory (CTL) was established in the fall of 2005 and focuses on technologies for converting coal into combustible gases and liquids that can be cleanly burned to meet the exploding demand for electric power ~ heating and transportation.
