WMPI PTY., LLC
Investing in Domestic Security through Energy Infrastructure Development
The Washington Coal Club is pleased to announce its February 9, 2005 meeting will feature John Rich, President of WMPI PTY., LLC.
John is president of WMPI PTY., LLC, a company organized for the purpose of developing commercialized coal-to-oil technology projects. WMPI is headquartered in east central Pennsylvania, the heart of the anthracite coal region. WMPI was a recipient of $7.7 million in federal DOE cost-sharing funds under the Early Entrance Co-Production Program. These funds allowed for the preliminary feasibility studies and development work on a 5,000 barrel per day waste coal-to-oil facility in Gilberton, Pennsylvania. Subsequent to this award, WMPI was the successful applicant for $100 million under the first round of DOE’s Clean Coal Power Initiative Solicitation. These funds will be used for the construction of the $612 million Giberton facility. In addition, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has approved $47 million in transferable investment tax credits to be used toward the construction of the plant.
John also serves as president/CEO of numerous other energy related companies including the Gilberton Power Company, Schuylkill Energy Resources Power Company and the Reading Anthracite Coal Co.
John, upon graduation from the University of Colorado, returned to work in the Anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania and has been in directing the operation of numerous companies ever since. John resides in Auburn, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and has four children.
