The Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (PETC) of the US Department of Energy is responsible for various programmatic areas in Fossil Energy, including coal preparation, combustion, flue gas cleanup, and direct and indirect liquefaction of coal. An in-house research program, that parallels the objective and goals of the various programs, has been instrumental in developing joint ventures with industry via cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs). CRADAs encourage private sector and federal government partnering in order to optimize joint research efforts and to shorten the planning, research, and design stages of product commercialization. In this communication, a description of the past and present CRADAs with PETC will be provided, highlighting the unique services and facilities of the installation.
