Clean Coal Demonstrations
Round 2 Planning Opportunity: Clearwater Conf.
The 28th International Technical Conference
on Coal Utilization & Fuel Systems,
which took place on March 10-13, 2003 in Clearwater Florida, focused
on the theme “Coal: Energy Security for the Future.” The Clearwater
conference included a plenary session for CCPI on Wednesday morning
chaired by Mike Eastman, CCPI’s Product Manager, National Energy
Technology Laboratory (NETL). The session, titled “Overview of the
Clean Coal Power Initiative,” was structured as a planning event for
CCPI Round 2 and included DOE presenters that addressed strategic CCPI
issues. Vic Der, Director of
the Office of Power Systems, Office of Fossil Energy (FE), gave a presentation
on the “Strategic Backdrop for the CCPI”. Mike
Eastman’s
talk, “Demonstration Overview,” summarized the importance of successful
technology demonstrations and their benefits, and NETL’s Charles
Drummond, Senior Management and Technical Advisor, Office of System
and Policy Support, prepared a presentation titled “DOE Project Benefits
Methodology and Case Study.”
The objective of the
Overview Session was to foster a creative environment by presenting
current information regarding the DOE/FE Coal Technology Demonstration
Program and to provide opportunities for interested parties to offer
input and share perspectives on needs regarding the next CCPI
solicitation. The first hour consisted of panel presentations,
with the second hour devoted to an interactive question and answer
period. The session was well attended with 150
participants displaying keen interest in the program. The exchange
of information between parties was highly beneficial, and the perspectives
shared at the meeting will help to shape the CCPI program. Additional
input opportunities (e.g. Review of a draft solicitation) are
anticipated. Meeting Highlights are provided below:
