The UW-based Clean Coal Task Force (CCTF), whose job is to first identify and then fund research projects that could lead to the development of technologies to reduce the environmental impact of coal-based energy, will call for a second round of proposals for the second consecutive year.
The 12 approved projects from the initial 2010 RPF received $6,992,300, leaving about $7 million remaining for additional projects. A second RPF will be issued on Jan 31, 2011 to use the remaining 2010 funds in a second round of awards.
In its first round of awards for 2010, the CCTF endorsed 12 projects — covering research in the fields of carbon capture, combustion and gasification design, coal-to-hydrogen conversion and post-combustion methods — that serve the fund's mission of stimulating research that would enhance and improve clean coal technologies, particularly with the use of sub-bituminous coal at high elevations.
The CCTF also recommended a $285,000 supplemental request for Emery Energy's 2007 project, to complete construction of a gasifier.
