UW RELEASES NEW PUBLICATION EXPLORING PRODUCTION OF LOW-CARBON HYDROGEN FROM WYOMING COAL

LARAMIE, Wyo., June 18 -- The University of Wyoming issued the following news release:

Researchers at the University of Wyoming have published a new modeling study exploring the production of low-carbon hydrogen by using Wyoming's coal resources.

Published in the peer-reviewed journal Energy Conversion and Management, the article, titled "Unlocking Wyoming's coal resources for low-carbon hydrogen production," finds that supercritical water gasification of coal with carbon capture can produce low-carbon hydrogen at a competitive cost, with the Powder River and Green River basins as the strongest candidate sites.
