Energy Success Stories New Coal: Innovations for Utah's Energy Future
OED’s latest installment, “Energy Success Stories New Coal: Innovations for Utah’s Energy Future,” travels below the earth’s surface to explore the state’s most resilient base-load source of power.
With more than 70 percent of Utah’s power generated from coal, this prized natural resource continues to play a crucial role in fueling the state’s nationally lauded economy and high quality of life. Approximately 18 million tons of coal is produced in Utah each year (2014), and valued at $600 million. Not only does Utah’s low sulfur, high BTU coal have environmental and safety advantages, but the state’s coal-fired power plants are also among the most efficient in the country.
Featuring a key interview with the U.S. Department of Energy’s David Mohler, this film chronicles Utah’s coal journey from mining to new innovations, through Bowie Resource’s Sufco Mine, Des Bee Dove Mine, Hunter Power Plant, the University of Utah’s Coal and Gasification Lab, and Sustainable Energy Solutions.
