42 U.S.C. § 16298 — Research and development for coal mining technologies

**(a) Establishment** The Secretary shall carry out a program for research and development on coal mining technologies. **(b) Cooperation** In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall cooperate with appropriate Federal agencies, coal producers, trade associations, equipment manufacturers, institutions of higher education with mining engineering departments, and other relevant entities. **(c) Program** The research and development activities carried out under this section shall— (1) be guided by the mining research and development priorities identified by the Mining Industry of the Future Program and in the recommendations from relevant reports of the National Academy of Sciences on mining technologies; (2) include activities exploring minimization of contaminants in mined coal that contribute to environmental concerns including development and demonstration of electromagnetic wave imaging ahead of mining operations; (3) develop and demonstrate coal bed electromagnetic wave imaging, spectroscopic reservoir analysis technology, and techniques for horizontal drilling in order to— (A) identify areas of high coal gas content; (B) increase methane recovery efficiency; (C) prevent spoilage of domestic coal reserves; and (D) minimize water disposal associated with methane extraction; and (4) expand mining research capabilities at institutions of higher education.

42 U.S.C. § 16298e — Carbon utilization program

**(a) In general** The Secretary shall establish a program of research, development, and demonstration for carbon utilization— (1) to assess and monitor— (A) potential changes in lifecycle carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions; and (B) other environmental safety indicators of new technologies, practices, processes, or methods used in enhanced hydrocarbon recovery as part of the activities authorized under [section 16293 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section16293&num=0&edition=prelim); (2) to identify and assess novel uses for carbon, including the conversion of carbon and carbon oxides for commercial and industrial products and other products with potential market value; (3) to develop or obtain, in coordination with other applicable Federal agencies and standard-setting organizations, standards and certifications, as appropriate, to facilitate the commercialization of the products and technologies described in paragraph (2); (4) to identify and assess carbon capture technologies for industrial systems; and (5) to identify and assess alternative uses for raw coal and processed coal products in all phases that result in no significant emissions of carbon dioxide or other pollutants, including products derived from carbon engineering, carbon fiber, and coal conversion methods. **(b) Demonstration programs for the purpose of commercialization** (1) **In general** — Not later than 180 days after December 27, 2020, as part of the program established under subsection (a), the Secretary shall establish a 2-year demonstration program in each of the 2 major coal-producing regions of the United States for the purpose of partnering with private institutions in coal mining regions to accelerate the comme

Page 8854 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 16298 shall establish a Complex Well Technology Test- ing Facility at the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center to increase the range of extended drilling technologies. (Pub. L. 109–58, title IX, § 967, Aug. 8, 2005, 119 Stat. 894.) § 16298. Carbon utilization program (a) In general The Secretary, in consultation with the Ad- ministrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, shall carry out a program of research, development, demonstration, and commer- cialization relating to carbon utilization. (b) Activities Under the program described in subsection (a), the Secretary shall— (1) assess and monitor— (A) potential changes in lifecycle carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions; and (B) other environmental safety indicators of new technologies, practices, processes, or methods used in enhanced hydrocarbon re- covery as part of the activities authorized under section 16293 of this title; (2) identify and evaluate novel uses for car- bon (including conversion of carbon oxides) that, on a full lifecycle basis, achieve a perma- nent reduction, or avoidance of a net increase, in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, for use in commercial and industrial products such as— (A) chemicals; (B) plastics; (C) building materials; (D) fuels; (E) cement; (F) products of coal utilization in power systems or in other applications; and (G) other products with demonstrated mar- ket value; (3) identify and assess carbon capture tech- nologies for industrial systems; and (4) identify and assess alternative uses for coal that result in zero net emissions of car- bon dioxide or other pollutants, including products derived from carbon engineering, car- bon fiber, and coal conversion methods.
