Located in Campbell County and Gillette, Wyoming, C-Valley holds some of the nation’s most abundant mineral reserves, with unprecedented access to coal-to-product R&D centers.

It’s no secret that the energy space is moving towards a greener future. At C-Valley, our mission is to find a way to power the world with cleaner, alternative uses for coal and other fossil fuels. As the nation’s largest, most productive coal region with 165 billion tons of recoverable coal, C-Valley is an ideal location for those researching and creating new clean energy methods and products.

Home to leading projects from the University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources, as well as proximity to some of the nation’s cleanest power plants, the region is fostering innovation in Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS) technologies, as well as coal-to-product and rare earth element research and development.

C-Valley invites the best of the best to come work, study, research and learn within a forward-thinking community.

Wyoming Innovation Center

The nearly 10-acre site will include test, lab and office spaces and will be home to multiple companies and researchers developing products like asphalt, graphene, graphite, agricultural char, carbon fiber and more – using coal, coal byproducts and rare earth elements. The C-Valley region holds 165 billion tons of recoverable coal, making it a desirable testbed for new and proven products made from coal.

Wyoming Integrated Test Center

The ITC can host multiple research teams at once and was designed to accommodate projects of varying sizes and power needs. Along with testing capture technologies, researchers have tested utilization technologies by taking flue gas and turning it into marketable products. Research conducted at the ITC has advanced new opportunities in petrochemicals as well as other commercial uses of carbon dioxide.

Wyoming CarbonSAFE

Spearheaded by The University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources (SER), a driving force for clean energy research, Wyoming CarbonSAFE investigates the feasibility of the practical, secure and permanent geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Wyoming CarbonSAFE tests this by utilizing CO2 emissions coming from coal-based electricity generation facilities, like the ITC.

Why Wyoming?

Campbell County and Gillette, located in Northeastern Wyoming, are home to a community of hard-working individuals, industry leaders and optimal conditions to transform coal into greener energy. C-Valley is the driving force behind carbon studies, bringing the broader concept of “Silicon Valley” innovation to Wyoming.
