Overview

The Consortium for Premium Carbon Products from Coal (CPCPC) is focused on the development, commercialization, and promotion of technologies needed to produce high value-added carbon products from coal and coal-derived feedstocks. The consortium was established on June 1, 1998.

CPCPC is a unique, industry-driven consortium whose members propose research initiatives in areas they identify as being strategically important to the coal and carbon/graphite industries. Active industrial participation and leadership is the key in making CPCPC a success.

CPCPC is currently comprised of 16 members which represent a broad array of industries. Members include: anthracite and bituminous coal producers, manufacturers of specialty carbon and graphite products, activated carbon producers, municipally-owned water treatment facilities, anthracite filter media producers, carbon fiber and composite producers, aluminum producers, carbon black and coal tar pitch producers, battery manufacturers, coal-fired electric utilities, humic acid producers, firms specializing in coal cleaning and plant construction, and academia.
