JCOAL runs a website and issues journals to provide the latest information
on coal to specialists as well as the general public. To help spread the
achievements of different efforts to develop coal technologies, JCOAL
organizes Advanced Clean Coal Technology International Symposiums
which introduce coal information inside and outside Japan as well as the
trends of technical development of CCTs.
It also hosts clean coal seminars to provide the latest information about coal policies and technical trends.
To make the public more aware of the importance of coal as an energy
resource and the current state of coal technologies, JCOAL distributes
general coal brochures and holds coal seminars and Coal relation facility
tours for the general public for several days around September 5 (Clean Coal Day).
Thus, we are increasing people’s understanding of coal utilization and
its significance. |

| (1)Advanced Clean Coal Technology International Symposium |
 |
This Symposium is an international CCT conference held every year to provide a forum for
environment and coal specialists to exchange technical information and opinions.JCOAL organizes the
symposium with a view to promoting Japan’s CCTs internationally. Various advanced CCTs in harmony
with the environment are introduced at the symposium.

|
|
To inform school children about the coal situation and CCTs, we invite children to attend site tours of CCT
related facilities including power stations and steel works, in addition to providing a exhibition at the
Science Museum. These activities help children learn about coal, and the importance of coal and CCTs.
For students and the general public, JCOAL distributes educational material and provides lectures and
seminars on coal to help people of all ages realize that coal can be environment-friendly. |

JCOAL provides new and useful coal information on its website. In addition to making such news
available immediately, the website has many sections including JCOAL Publications, Coal Land, Clean
Coal ("Let’s go on an exploration with Mr. Coal!") and Clean Coal Technologies in Japan. The website
thus provides information to a wide range of people including children, students, workers and even
high-tech engineers. JCOAL also uses the Japan Coal Information System (JCIS), fundamental
technology database (COAL DB) and coal ash utilization database (Coal Ash DB) to provide different
types of coal data.
