Shannon Angielski has been appointed executive director of the Coal Utilization Research Council, replacing Ben Yamagata, who held the position for more than 17 years. “I am confident we can build on the progress CURC has made under Ben’s leadership, and I plan to work with the coalition to drive further action on a broad 21st Century Coal Program that pursues technology solutions to enable cost-competitive, low carbon coal generation options in the future and will preserve the reliability and affordability of coal-based electricity generation,” Angielski said in a CURC release Thursday.
Yamagata congratulated Angielski on the new position. “With Shannon as Executive Director, I am confident that CURC’s profile as the country’s only coal technology advocacy organization and leading voice for coal will be elevated,” Yamagata said in the release.
