Ukraine: PrJSC Kryvy Rih Cement, under the initiative of Concorde Capital founder Ihor Mazepa, will build a 24MW power generation facility to ensure continuous plant operations, according to Interfax Ukraine. The project will reportedly cost around US$15m, with a payback period of three to four years.

Ihor Mazepa posted on Facebook "This is a necessary measure to keep business from stopping. In general, I see the prospect of investing in energy projects. Therefore, in a short period we will build 40MW of storage capacity, which will balance the energy market. We see a good return on investment in the amount which can reach up to 30% depending on the market development scenario."

US: The Japan Coal Energy Center (JCOAL), GreenOre Clean Tech, Columbia University and Wyoming Infrastructure Authority (WIA) have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to test carbon utilisation and recycling technology. GreenOre Clean Tech, using technology under license from Columbia University, will use testing space at the Integrated Test Center (ITC) near the Dry Fork Station coal-fired power station in Gillette, Wyoming. Calcium carbonate produced through CO₂ mineralisation could then potentially be used for aggregates, concrete production or in paper production. The test will be funded by JCOAL with additional support from project partners.

The State of Wyoming and JCOAL have been working together since 2016, when they signed an initial MOU committing to cooperation in coal research and development of technologies and coal trade. JCOAL operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan and is supported by more than 120 member coal-related businesses, including Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Nippon Steel and Toshiba. Kawasaki is scheduled to test its solid sorbent capture technology at the ITC beginning in 2021.
