K&M was engaged by the US DOE to analyze and interpret results of field studies, research and testing conducted on behalf of METC’s Clean Coal Technology Program to support development of commercially viable solid waste disposal technologies for utilization and management of residues generated from advanced coal technologies. This multi-faceted task addressed the environmental, health and safety aspects of project testing procedures and results, operating procedures, documentation requirements, and contractor surveys. K&M prepared assessments and recommendations for implementing strategies to maximize technology transfer to the utility and regulatory sectors. K&M also reviewed economic viability and market assessments for solid waste utilization.
