OCDO-Funded Projects

OCDO Project Summaries

The Ohio Coal Development Office (OCDO) co-funds the research, development and deployment of technologies that can use Ohio's vast reserves of high sulfur coal within environmental limits.  Its projects include technologies that improve combustion efficiencies, remove various pollutants from emissions such as sulfur and nitrogen oxides and air toxics, develop productive uses for the by-products of combustion, and investigate new uses for coal as a feedstock.  OCDO projects frequently involve multiple project participants, such as the technology developer, a research institution, the federal government, and/or other private sector co-sponsors.

Since its inception, OCDO has co-supported nearly 300 projects of varying size and scope.  Presented here are summaries of these projects.
