Advanced Coal Technology Work Group

Work Group Status

The Work Group has completed its charge, and the Final Report of the Advanced Coal Technology Work Group is now available. The Report, based on unanimous consensus, presents thirteen recommendations that seek to accelerate the early commercial deployment of advanced coal technologies.

[ THIS WORK GROUP IS CURRENTLY INACTIVE ]

The Clean Air Act Advisory Committee in September 2006 charged the Advanced Coal Technology Work Group to discuss and identify the potential barriers and opportunities to create incentives under the Clean Air Act for the research, development, demonstration and deployment of advanced coal technologies (ACTs), including carbon capture and sequestration. During the course of the year, the group agreed to go beyond the limits of its charter and to discuss mechanisms that might be engaged to advance deployment of ACTs outside of the existing Clean Air Act.

On January 29, 2008 the work group completed its Final Report, which presents thirteen succinct, consensus-based recommendations that can be undertaken by various stakeholders to accelerate the development and use of ACTs.
