ORNL and Wyoming-based Ramaco Carbon are exploring ways to convert coal to advanced carbon products and materials. The project is looking at ways to use coal as a feedstock for manufacturing carbon fibers, building products, and composites, as well as electrodes for energy storage devices and new materials for additive manufacturing.
ORNL’s user facilities offer a diverse set of tools for experiments across a range of fields, including biology, materials and energy sciences, physics, engineering, and chemistry. Learn more about ORNL’s user facilities. Data reflects fiscal year 2020 except for scientific publications, which covers 2016–2020. Partner stories reflect work conducted from 2016 to present.
Ramaco Carbon, with facilities in West Virginia, has a longstanding interest in the development of coal into other products, which aligns with some of ORNL’s core strengths. For example, ORNL is home to the Carbon Fiber Technology Facility, the Department of Energy’s only designated user facility dedicated to carbon fiber innovation with a customizable platform for validating new conversion technologies at semi-production scale.
