U.S. Future in Coal Burns Bright

Coal Reclamation – In the United States today there
are more than 3 billion tons of coal resulting from
previous and ongoing mining and preparation plant
operations. This coal is stored in slurry ponds and gob
piles.

Headwaters acquires the high ash coal
resources, removes the ash, clay, silt, and many of the
contaminants that cause air emissions when burned,
and develops a high quality coal product – a product
that would otherwise remain in undeveloped mines,
waste ponds, or landfills that need to be reclaimed.
In addition to coal cleaning, Headwaters is also
involved in converting coal to liquids, and in March of
2007 began operations of its ethanol plant located in
North Dakota. Through its energy activities,
Headwaters has also made advancements in other
industrial applications of nanotechnologies, e.g.,
manufacturing hydrogen peroxide.
