Members of CURC^SM joined together for the specific purpose of advancing the research, development, demonstration and commercial application of technologies that will enable the continued use of coal. Our efforts have led to industry consensus on a coal technology roadmap for the near and long term. With the roadmap serving as a technology reference point, the CURC^SM has advocated public policies that support the development of those technologies and ensure the continued presence of coal in the fuel mix.
