Ohio State clean coal technology research receives $1.5 million federal grant
Ohio State has received the largest of a group of seven grants recently awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy to improve fuel and product versatility, efficiency, and economics of gasification processes.
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Gasification System Program announced the grants on Tuesday, July 14. Projects conducted through this program are geared toward reducing the cost of coal conversion and mitigating the environmental impacts of fossil-fueled power generation. Advances in gasification technology are an important facet of unlocking the full potential of domestic coal resources, which both improves U.S. economic competitiveness and contributes to the protection of the global environment.
