Aluminum is a critical element used in thousands of important products, but it can often interfere with quick and effective extraction of valuable rare earth elements (REEs) from coal waste byproducts. NETL researchers have also developed MOF-based luminescent sensors for REEs. Currently, most REEs are produced and refined in other countries.

The decline of coal use in the European Union and United States is overshadowed by surging natural gas and oil use around the world, according to the researchers. About 40% of global carbon dioxide emissions were attributable to coal use, 34% from oil, 20% from natural gas, and the remaining 6% from cement production and other sources.
