Consortium for Clean Coal Utilization
Established in December 2008, the Consortium for Clean Coal Utilization (CCCU) is a center for research in advanced coal and carbon capture technologies, and is dedicated to addressing the scientific and technological challenges of ensuring that coal can be used in a clean and sustainable manner.
The goal of the consortium is to be a resource to industry for the advancement of technologies that foster clean utilization of coal by creating an international partnership between universities, industries, foundations and government organizations. The consortium is under the umbrella of the International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy and Sustainability, and international collaborations are fostered through the McDonnell Academy Global Energy & Environment Partnership.
