Development of low-rank coal as an alternative energy source. [Low rank]
The University of North Dakota School of Engineering and Mines, which includes the Energy Research Center, the North Dakota Mining and Mineral Resources Research Institute, and the Engineering Experiment Station, is deeply involved in many areas of research and development of low-rank coal technology. In some aspects of this work, today's problems are being solved through research related to coal mining, transport and storage, combustion, gasification, stack gas cleaning, waste treatment and disposal, and by-product utilization. In other aspects of this work, technologies and data are being developed for application in the future, through research related to coal resource evaluation, coal science, underground coal gasification, coal/water slurry fuels, coal liquefaction, and production of hydrogen. The approach to this work is collaborative, with funding agencies, other research entities, and production and processing companies. The result will be the further development of low-rank coal as an alternative energy source.
