Three projects will study the stability and durability of cathode materials when exposed to varying levels of humidity and contaminants expected in commercial deployment. The ultimate goal is the generation of efficient, cost-competitive electricity from domestic coal with near-zero emissions of carbon dioxide and air pollutants.

Look at the facts Studies show that African-Americans are 75 percent more likely than white Americans to live close enough to oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and other commercial facilities. This proximity brings a greater risk of harm by higher levels of benzene , sulfuric acid , mercury , and other potentially dangerous substances.
