He said that state governor Mark Gordon recently joined many business owners in a commercial exhibition in Taiwan, where Big Lost Meadry, which is based in Casper, has a great appreciation and very popular. But the popularity of Wyoming Spirits was not the main orientation of the visit.
In both Taiwan and Japan, Gordon and other prominent figures in Wyoming visited with business officials and the ministry interested in coal and natural gas in Wyoming, as well as strengthening partnerships to push carbon capture techniques to help these fossil fuels fit their low -carbon targets.
Gordon said that both potential fences are highly dependent on energy fuel imports, while Taiwan officials believe that “about 20 % of their power mix will remain with coal and are very concerned about obtaining River Powder”.
Taiwan has its elected government, but the People's Republic of China claims to enjoy sovereignty over the island off its coast.
Gordon called a press conference on Wednesday to highlight his commercial mission to the region earlier this month. It was joined by officials from the University of Wyoming and the Energy Authority in Wyoming, as well as representatives of energy producers, Juna Energy, Williams and Kanata Clean Power Technologies Corp.
“He builds confidence, which is very important in Asia,” Gordon said of international talks. “This leads us to believe that there are many very exciting opportunities.”
One of the concrete initial result is that Gordon comes to strengthen relations with the two foreign markets is to stimulate efforts to build coal and natural gas ports to increase the international export of those subsequent goods. While the United States has increased its ability to export accompanied natural gas, the efforts made to expand coal ports, especially on the western coast, have fallen for years.
But Gordon believes that through investment between the public and private sectors, as well as supporting policy from President Donald Trump, these efforts will be activated.
This will require “looking at whether the loose millennium station can be re -activated, or that Jordan Cove (station) or whether there are a few other things in Auckland that have been talked about from time to time that can bear fruit.” He added that the increase in fossil fuel exports in Wyoming may also require “leaving the Gulf of America (the Gulf of Mexico) and passing through the Panama channel.”
When asked if the state's commercial efforts may help in the territorial export contracts that were prepared in KEMMERER in time to save it from the potential closure, Gordon said: “I have no silver bullet for that now. But I can tell you, I wander in my ammunition box.”
Humans to capture carbon and charcoal kmmeer
KEMMERER LLC Operations 28 workers have been demobilized recentlyAnd a lot in the southwest Wi -mang anxiety may be more job losses, or The mine may be closed.
The largest client of the mine – the nearby Naughon Power Plant Station, which represents about 42 % of coal production in the mine, according to federal documents – will stop burning coal by the end of the year as its owner, Pacificorp, turns into natural gas fuel.
There is still a mixture of hope and suspicion of proposals to take advantage of the KEMMERER charcoal mine for coal projects to products-which may be compensated for the suspended loss of the Naughon coal contract. In fact, responsible from Kanata Clean Power & Climate Technologies Corp. He joined Gordon at the Japanese Trade Mission and Taiwan.
The company suggests an effort by billions of dollars to convert about 1.8 million tons of charcoal KEMMERER annually to ammonia, primarily as an agricultural fertilizer. Another company, Trisight llcIt claims that “opening” a process of converting charcoal into countless products, including graphite, agricultural fertilizers and makeup – using about one million tons annually from the KEMMERER mine, while avoiding the model carbon emissions of coal.
But no project appears on the Wyoming Industrial Website Council Applications menu – An organizational step required for such projects. If taken at the nominal value, the absence of an ISC permit request indicates that it is unlikely to consume any KEMMERER coal during the next year or so.
“Wyoming-To-Aamonia project evaluates multiple sites alternatives, a list of alternatives that include the surface lease contract, KEMMERER.”
Although Wyofile has not been completely achieved in the financial preparation either for Trisight or Kanata, some South Western Wi -Mingle officials consider coal proposals to products as a potential lifestyle of the mine. Brian Muyer, director of the city of Kimmene, told and welcomed that both projects confirm signs of a possible recovery in the coal market and the possibility of finding new uses of coal.
“This is not over,” Muir told Wyofile in March. “There are years and years of charcoal reserves here, and techniques to convert them (coal into products).”
Gordon said that among the most exciting topics discussed in his commercial mission to Japan and Taiwan was an agreement to support coal technologies that reduce carbon fingerprint.
Gordon said: “(We talked) about the progress of technologies that can go forward, which generate a lot of excitement,” Gordon said.
