Dr. Ronald H. Carty has over thirty years of experience in research and development and manages the Illinois Clean Coal Institute which he joined in 1997. His career in coal research began at the University of Kentucky where he received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. There he joined the Institute for Mining and Minerals Research and helped to develop projects in multi-fuel and fluidized-bed combustion systems as well as production of hydrogen through thermochemical water-splitting.
Dr. Carty then joined the Institute of Gas Technology, and during his sixteen years of service he earned the position of Assistant Director. At IGT he directed programs for thermal gasification of biomass, coal liquefaction, coal tar upgrading, sulfur removal from coal char, and research on sulfur sorbents, as well as the development of an advanced mild gasification process for coal that produces solid and liquid co-products. He also managed research on mineral matter behavior in coal gasification, high-temperature gas cleaning, and direct-flux solar reactor applications.
