This grant will be used to generate conceptual designs to extract critical minerals and rare earth elements from coal, as well as coal by-product sources, to support the nation's energy and electronics industries. UND will partner with DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory to advance this project. This grant from DOE will support UND's efforts to extract critical minerals from North Dakota's abundant coal reserves, which will lessen our reliance on imports of rare earth elements and enhance our economic and national security, said Hoeven. -###- Print Email Tweet Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
