THE CLEARWATER CLEAN COAL CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
MISSION STATEMENT – Increased demand – coupled with energy security issues, uncertainty and increasing costs in the oil sector, and tightening environmental regulations – make this conference a must for those involved in all aspects of power generation who must meet the competitive pressures and environmental concerns of coal utilization in the 21st century. The Panels, Short Courses and Technical Sessions are works in progress and additional titles will be added in the future. But this is what we intend to cover: Panels To provide our attendees with the most comprehensive and up-­‐to-­‐date information, we offer panel presentations throughout the conference. By covering the important energy topics of the day we provide an overview of emerging, evolving, and innovative technologies, fuels, policy and/or equipment in the power generation industry. • Keynote Panel: The Future of Clean Coal Technologies in Light The State-­of-­the Art in coal of EPA’s CO2 Rules and DOE’s New Program Initiatives for Coal utilization will be presented in up-­‐ EPA’s CO2 rules scheduled to be finalized in June, 2015 and a to-­‐date Technical Sessions, Short possible new DOE program to help fund transformational Courses, and Panels, covering technologies. cutting-­‐edge developments on a Ben Yamagata, Executive Director, Coal Utilization Research Council range of timely topics.
