The Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research provides objective and factual information on energy issues of economic and environmental importance to the Commonwealth. The Center periodically distributes publications that relay information on energy and energy-related research conducted both within and outside Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Most of these publications are stored in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat, it can be obtained free of charge here.
The Center currently has two brochures available that detail current activities and projects. A 20-page, full color brochure can be downloaded here or a printed copy can be requested by contacting the Center. A smaller flier, with more recent information, can be downloaded here.
