Description: The first stop on Thursday is the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Morgantown, one of a handful of such facilities in the country. Significant research on coal and carbon capture is performed at the lab for the Department of Energy.
After lunch, the group will be given a tour of Longview Power, a 700 megawatt coal-fired generator built in 2011 in nearby Maidsville, WV, that employs the best available emissions control technology and is one of the most efficient such plants in the country.
NCAC members specifically are asked to bring their expertise and insight to share with each other and industry experts at both of these facilities.
