Research Institutes and Government Organizations
- Argonne Premium Coal
Samples Home Page "The Premium Coal Sample Program is intended to provide the
basic coal research community with the highest quality samples of a limited number
(8) of coals for basic research. ...coal samples were mined, transported, processed
into the desired particle and sample sizes, packaged in humid nitrogen environments
as free of oxygen as possible, and carefully characterized by a variety of
techniques." Background information, analytical data, and a searchable bibliography
of research using these samples is provided.
- Center for Applied Energy
Research (CAER) of The University of Kentucky is a multidisciplinary research
center addressing energy and environmental research in Kentucky. "Research programs
focus on energy resources indigenous to Kentucky with efforts directed to advanced
beneficiation, utilization, conversion and process technologies. Environmental
issues relating to fuel use and by-product wastes constitute a growing effort, along
with the derivation of high added-value materials and chemicals from energy
resources." CAER will host the 2003 International Ash Utilization Symposium October 20 -22,
2003 in Lexington, covering comprehensive aspects of ash utilization.
- Energy & Geoscience Institute
at the University of Utah performs organic geochemistry and petrology projects.
- Flemish Institute for
Technological Research performs research, product and process development in
non-nuclear energy, environmental and biotechnologies, and advanced materials.
- Illinois Basin Coal
Sample Program has 12 well-preserved coal samples available to researchers.
This site describes the project and the samples, and has a table of coal sample
banks.
- Illinois Clean Coal
Institute (ICCI) conducts and funds research on the structural and thermal
conversion characteristics of coal, removal of pyritic and organic sulfur from
Illinois high-sulfur coal, and more.
- Kentucky Geogical Survey's Coal page
includes general information on coal formation, mining, and resources; links for obtaining their
data; summaries of research projects; and links to search their databases.
- Ohio Geogical Survey's Energy and Mineral Resources group includes
projects and publications in Ohio coal and petroleum geology.
- U.S. Department of Energy
performs and funds fuel research in many areas. This site includes organizational
data, directories, press releases, and pages for DOE's individual Labs and Offices,
as well as an A-Z index.
NETL includes the former FETC which combined the Pittsburgh and
Morgantown Centers.
- U.S. Geological Survey has a
huge site covering its many programs such as biology, geology, mapping, and water
resources. Identify and order maps and publications, or search by keyword for
information, including USGS web documents and links to other servers.
- Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institute's Petroleum Organic Geochemical Group "focuses on using a variety of
carbon containing compounds to understand processes which have affected petroleum
basins and sediment-covered hydrothermal vent areas. A particular focus of the group is gas.
Gas formation and migration processes strongly affect subsurface fluid flow which
ultimately determines where and how much gas is available to drive geological processes and as
an energy resource. "
