Clean coal plant in Wyoming slated for operation by summer

Robin Eves, CEO of Clean Coal Technologies, said the company’s test facility should arrive from Tulsa, Oklahoma, around the end of January.
“The plant has been upgraded to operate at a much higher level than before,” Eves said, adding that the byproducts of refining coal “have huge value, and our technology has the capability of acting as a coal refinery, which has significant value around the world.”
He added that a commercial facility capable of processing 30 tons of coal an hour also will be located at the same site of the test plant southeast of Wright in Campbell County, the Gillette News Record reported Thursday.
Clean Coal says its process reduces the moisture in coal in a way that leaves the mineral stable and safe to handle. Along with producing more energy than untreated coal, the refined product also produces fewer harmful emissions when burned, including carbon dioxide, according to the company.
While the test plant is being moved and set up in Wyoming, the company will work to get necessary permits from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.
The goal is to have the test plant up and running by the end of the first quarter 2018, Eves said.
The timeline for the commercial plant calls for the company to have its permitting done in six months and the plant built and operational by the end of 2019, Eves said.
With the global market for coal still strong, Eves said, Clean Coal’s technology is needed.
“It’s critical to sustain and develop coal reserves around the world,” he said.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
