Clean coal should be on its way to the region's industries by the end of the year. That's when
Vertus Technologies Ltd. expects to be shipping cleaner, processed coal from a new plant it will build at
Cincinnati Bulk Terminals' riverfront facility. It will be the UK-based company's first U.S. production site, and will be capable of producing 100,000 tons of low-sulphur, low-mercury coal a year. In coming years, the amount of clean coal it ships is expected to grow, as both companies say they expect more units to be installed to meet a growing demand for fuels that comply with stricter air-quality rules. "This relationship creates a significant opportunity for both companies in the production and distribution of low-emission, high-quality, compliant coal," says Dr. Kenneth Hughes, president of Vertus Technologies.
