CPICOR Management Company LLC (CMC) is carrying out the Clean Power From Integrated Coal/Ore Reduction Project. The United States Department of Energy has continued its work toward an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for this project, a draft of which was expected to be issued in early 2001. The CMC continues to perform baseline environmental monitoring and preliminary engineering and design. CMC also continues to work closely with the Australian developers of the HIsmelt Process and iron/steel engineering firms to establish a process and mechanical design database for this project. This project will be designed to produce 3,300 tons per day of liquid iron and approximately 160 megawatts-electric from the byproduct gases. CMC is discussing teaming arrangements with several engineering firms.
