Local company to receive DOE clean-coal R&D funds
The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced that it would make a $1.95 million investment in 13 companies that are working on smaller, smarter and cleaner coal-fired plant innovations.
Coal First (Flexible, Innovative, Resilient, Small and Transformative) is a DOE initiative to develop the coal-fired plants of tomorrow. To qualify for the funding, a company must focus its R&D on technically advanced coal use that is smaller in scale and includes carbon capture that limits emissions to almost zero.
Canonsburg’s own CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company is one of the participating companies and will receive $147,000 of the almost $2 million in funding. The projects will be managed by The National Energy Technology Laboratory.
Companies trying to qualify for federal funding or contracts sometimes turn to printing services to give their proposal a finished look.
Mark W. Menezes, Undersecretary of Energy is quoted as saying:
A notice of intent will be issued by the DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy later next year for a new funding opportunity, which will include almost $100 million for carefully chosen, cost-shared R&D projects that are fixed on the Coal FIRST required components.

“Coal is an abundant, affordable, resilient, and reliable energy source …, The Department’s Coal FIRST initiative is helping the Nation secure its domestic power supply by developing plants that are not only more reliable, resilient, efficient, and near zero emissions, but that can adapt to the changing electrical grid.”
