Arch Coal Foundation Establishes CCT Endowment for University of Wyoming
The Arch Coal Foundation recently announced a $1.5 million gift to the University of Wyoming’s (UW) School of Energy Resources (SER) Clean Coal Technology Center. "This gift from Arch Coal will help move the University of Wyoming along on its path to becoming a leader in advanced coal technology development," said Governor Dave Freudenthal. "The research and innovation that will take place at UW's Clean Coal Technology Center will be critical to the future of Wyoming's economy, which has long been bolstered by the development of coal and other fossil fuels."
The Arch Coal Foundation's contribution will be doubled to $3 million under the State of Wyoming’s matching funds program. The $1.5 million endowment will be used to support students and faculty who are dedicated to the development of improved technologies for the extraction of energy from coal, widely known as clean coal technology.
