The Center for Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCCC) at the University of Wyoming's (UW) School of Energy Resources is a collaborative group of research scientists and entrepreneurs focused on supporting the future of Wyoming coal and creating economic development & diversification opportunities.  

CCCC research scientists actively work on supporting existing markets and finding novel, non-energy uses for Wyoming coal by:

    • Enabling the continued use of Wyoming coal in thermal applications and advancing clean, energy-based systems and technologies. 

    • Developing novel, marketable products derived from coal.

    • Investing in carbon engineering processes and product technologies that consume large volumes of Wyoming coal and add value. 

    • Finding opportunities to utilize existing existing Wyoming coal industry professional talents, creating new coal-based manufacturing businesses.

OUR MISSION:

 

The mission of the CCCC is to develop new high-volume uses for coal and to explore new opportunities in an evolving carbon market. CCCC delves into the potential marketable properties of higher-value coal products from Wyoming coal. The design and function of the technology used in these projects are created with the intention of conversion for large-scale, commercialization.
