Report: Wyoming could support 2,600 carbon tech jobs
14 Aug 2018
If state government and private industry invested fully in carbon technology, Wyoming could use coal to support an average of 2,600 jobs over the next 17 years, according to a report from the American Jobs Project.
The nonprofit began work on the report in February, soliciting the help of the UW College of Business and University of Wyoming energy economics professor Robert Godby.
Kate Ringness, co-president of the American Jobs Project, said her organization focused in on Wyoming’s carbon tech potential after noticing the significant levels of research and development already being backed in the state — like the Wyoming Integrated Test Center in Gillette and Ramaco’s carbon project in Sheridan.
