United States
American Coal Foundation – This site provides a broad range of information on coal in the United States. The American Coal Foundation (ACF) was created in 1981 as a 501(c)(3) organization to develop, produce and disseminate coal-related educational materials and programs designed for teachers and students.
CO2 Science – The Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change was created to disseminate factual reports and sound commentary on new developments in the world-wide scientific quest to determine the climatic and biological consequences of the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 content. In this endeavor, the Center attempts to separate reality from rhetoric in the emotionally-charged debate that swirls around the subject of carbon dioxide and global change.
Center for Energy and Economic Development – The Center for Energy and Economic Development (CEED) focuses on the connection between energy and economic development, and their connection with America's environmental ethic. CEED's mission is to ensure that policy makers recognize the importance of coal-fueled electricity, both today and tomorrow.
Clean Coal USA – CleanCoalUSA believes that the option to generate electricity from coal - which remains America's most abundant energy resource - must be preserved and enhanced because it strengthens the economy, ensures the generation of affordable and reliable electricity, maintains a diverse fuel supply, and provides secure jobs for American workers.
Coal Utilization Research Council – The Coal Utilization Research Council supports the use of coal in the United States and worldwide and advocates the formation of credible and effective partnerships between industry and government to pursue the development of technologies that will enable coal to be used economically, efficiently and in an environmentally compatible manner.
Future Coal Fuels – The mission of the Coal-to-Liquids Coalition (CTLC) is to articulate policies, educate policy makers and advocate congressional and administrative actions to advance the construction of state-of-the-art coal liquefaction facilities.
