We believe that a commitment to innovative research and development of new technologies is needed to address the challenges of climate change and the world’s growing energy needs. We are committing significant financial and human resources in the areas of capture and storage of greenhouse gases, developing and using ecologically friendly cellulostic biofuels and reforesting mined out property.

When it comes to conservation, we believe that working in partnership with others has the most impact. That's why we are active partners with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, The Nature Conservancy, and the Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative. Through these partnerships we have helped clean rivers, studied the impact of mining on wildlife and planted half a million trees a year.
