The Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program (also referred to as the CCT Program) is a government and industry co-funded technology development effort to demonstrate a new generation of innovative coal utilization processes in a series of large-scale {open_quotes}showcase{close_quotes} facilities built across the country. The program takes the most promising, advanced coal-based technologies and moves them into the commercial marketplace through demonstration. These demonstrations are on a scale large enough to generate all the data, from design, construction and operation, that are necessary for the private sector to judge commercial potential and make informed, confident decisions on commercial readiness. The projects in the program are demonstrating technologies capable of being applied to the U.S. coal resource base and encompass advanced electric power generation systems, high-performance pollution control devices, coal processing for clean fuels and industrial applications.
