What is the Lignite Vision 21 Program?

The Lignite Vision 21 Program (LV21P) is the culmination of unprecedented commitment and cooperation among government agencies, elected leadership and the lignite industry. It is a vision of a vibrant economy, fueled by environmentally responsible lignite energy conversion facilities. The goal of the LV21P is nothing short of the finest coal-fueled plants in the world, employing the latest clean-coal technology to provide energy for a rapidly growing region.

The North Dakota Industrial Commission (NDIC) is investing substantial resources in research, marketing and development of program participants' projects.

The NDIC has committed up to $10 million for LV21P projects

Energy will undoubtedly play a key role in our region's future.  An important component of this program is that it will demonstrate that both environmental and economic goals can be met.  The Lignite Vision 21 Program is a vision of prosperity, stability and progress for our region in the 21st century.
