Collins commented;
The recent statements by the PRBRC completely mischaracterize and
misconstrue the Ramaco Carbon (Ramaco) press release made on July 20
related to the DOE grant. Ramaco was clear that they along with research
and strategic partners were selected by DOE, and that WRI is leading the
consortium.
The overall DOE grant consists of the cash amount, which the DOE
contributes, as well as the cost share in the research, which each party to the
grant contributes. The DOE portion which was reported in the DOE release
is approximately $3.8 million in cash funding. As the lead organizer of the
grant we budget that the eight participating groups, including Ramaco, will
cumulatively contribute an equal or greater amount along with the DOE,
such that the figure of $7 million used in the release is appropriate.
Ramaco, as with all of the other research parties, will benefit from the
grant and the ability to collaborate with the other members in developing
new technologies. In Ramacos case, these technologies are to the oily
compounds available in coal.
