Quarterly Progress Report Phase II: Clean and Secure Energy from Coal Project Period October 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009

On September 14, 2009, Modification #001 was executed to renew the project for an additional Budget Period as a result of FY-09 Congressional Direction and funding. As part of this modification, the project was re-aligned to support only NETL's Strategic Center for Coal (SCC) program moving forward. To document the work completed prior to the re-alignment (i.e., through September 30, 2009), the modified award was structured into two Phases. Phase 1 represents the performance period from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009. Phase 2 represents the revised tasks in support of the SCC program for the performance period from October 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011. Beginning with this quarterly report, results are organized to reflect the status of the Phase 2 effort.
