What the grant funds
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management’s (U.S. DOE FECM) Office of Resource Sustainability’s Carbon Ore Processing Program is focused on the conversion of coal and coal wastes into value-added products that are outside of traditional thermal and metallurgical markets. For this FOA, coal wastes are defined as the carbonaceous solid portion of waste resulting from the cleaning of coal. Amendment 000001: Removed the Area of Interest 3 reference since this FOA only has 2 Areas of Interest. See Page 9 of this FOA document. For Area of Interest 1, a reference to graphite carbon was added. Format issue on page 34.
