In this webinar, the OCCCM discusses its work and presents its strategic vision through 2024.
The strategy for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Clean Coal and Carbon Management (OCCCM) is based on a strong mission and vision to enable a vibrant, resilient coal industry characterized by diverse uses for America's coal resources.
This strategy envisions new opportunities for modular, highly efficient coal plants to produce electricity with near-zero CO2 emissions for seamless integration with renewables on the modern grid. The strategy represents a rethinking of coal and coal resources to create a diverse set of valuable products and generate cleaner hydrogen for industry.
Technologies developed to capture and utilize carbon from coal can also be applied to natural gas, biomass, and industrial sources of carbon to achieve carbon-neutral or net-negative emissions.
