Kawasaki and Japan may invest up to $9 million researching coal in Wyoming

Wyoming’s romance with Japan over coal appears to be paying off as the state announced Tuesday that the Japan Coal Energy Center and Kawasaki Heavy Industries plan to spend $9 million in grant funding researching carbon capture near Gillette.

The country’s coal group and Kawasaki will apply the grant money in phases, the first being a nearly $1 million feasibility study this year analyzing their potential research at the Wyoming Integrated Test Center.
