UND is proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Bulgarian Energy Holding to establish a collaborative research initiative focused on the exploration and sustainable development of rare earth elements in Bulgaria. Bulgarian Energy Holding is a state-owned energy holding company in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

UND Vice President for Research & Economic Development Scott Snyder, Dean of the College of Engineering & Mines Ryan Adams and BEH representatives officially executed the agreement last week in New York City, marking the beginning of a strategic trans-Atlantic partnership aimed at advancing both scientific understanding and practical applications of critical minerals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to build on this partnership with Bulgaria as part of UND\u2019s wider efforts to meet the rapidly growing need for critical minerals of the United States and our allies,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cAs we work to commercialize this innovative technology in North Dakota, our MOU with Bulgaria represents another step in using the results of UND research in supporting economic development here at home and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams agreed. \u201cThis agreement with Bulgaria Energy Holding gives us an opportunity to expand on our work in critical minerals and help one of our NATO allies,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are very excited to enter into this agreement and look forward to strengthening our relationship with the people of Bulgaria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leveraging UND\u2019s expertise<\/h2>\n

Rare earth elements play an essential role in modern technologies, renewable energy systems, electronics and national security. The technology to extract these elements from lignite coal was developed at UND\u2019s College of Engineering & Mines and the University\u2019s Energy & Environmental Research Center, with state and federal support.<\/p>\n

UND has built a prototype plant to demonstrate the feasibility at scale of this technology, and the technology is widely considered to be the gold standard of REE extraction from lignite. In addition, UND is actively working toward building a large commercially viable REE extraction facility based on this technology in western North Dakota to use North Dakota coal to support the industrial and national security needs of the United States.<\/p>\n

Initial analyses suggest that the composition of lignite in Bulgaria\u2019s Maritsa Basin is analogous in key respects to coal mined in North Dakota, offering a strong technical foundation for collaboration.<\/p>\n

The new agreement will enable BEH and UND to pool resources, expertise and technologies to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Conduct mineralogical characterization, advanced laboratory testing and technological validation<\/li>\n
  • Perform techno-economic studies, environmental impact assessments and sustainable resource management planning<\/li>\n
  • Establish a Center for Critical Raw Materials Research and Knowledge in Bulgaria to support European supply chains<\/li>\n
  • Explore the potential of processing lignite from the Maritsa Basin in Bulgaria for extraction of rare earth elements with high added value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Through this initiative, UND and Bulgarian Energy Holding aim to foster innovation, reduce strategic dependencies and advance low-impact mining and processing practices.<\/p>\n

    Prime Minister of Bulgaria: An \u2018extremely important\u2019 agreement<\/h2>\n

    As quoted by the government press office Wednesday, Bulgarian Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov said the signing is \u201cextremely important not only for the development of the Bulgarian mining industry, but also for the technological advancement of both Bulgaria and the United States.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBulgaria and the United States are not only partners in strategic dialogue, but also allies who value the achievements and choices of our civilization,\u201d Zhelyazkov added.<\/p>\n

    He emphasized the potential of scientific collaboration: \u201cThrough the development of the research capacity of the University of North Dakota, we can expand the possibilities contained in the Bulgarian subsoil.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWithout the scientific potential and know-how that you possess, it will be very difficult to achieve what we expect in the Maritsa Basin and in other places, for the benefit and prosperity of our nations,\u201d the prime minister continued.<\/p>\n

    The prime minister and a Bulgarian government delegation are in the U.S. for the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The signing took place at the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Bulgaria to the United Nations.<\/p>\n

    Next steps and implementation<\/h2>\n

    Following the signing, expert teams from UND and BEH convened to develop an initial action plan. Key near-term steps include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Expanded geological surveys and new coal sampling across the Maritsa Basin<\/li>\n
    • Pilot laboratory testing of extraction methods tailored to Bulgarian lignite<\/li>\n
    • Preparation of a pre-feasibility study to evaluate technological viability and economic returns<\/li>\n
    • Engagement with Bulgarian universities, national scientific agencies, and regional stakeholders in support of the national program on critical and strategic materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Looking ahead<\/h2>\n

      UND and Bulgarian Energy Holding envision this agreement as the beginning of a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership, the officials agreed. By uniting scientific capacity and institutional commitment, both parties hope to contribute to resilient, sustainable supply chains for strategic minerals \u2014 and to the broader transition to clean energy technologies.<\/p>\n

      \u201cAs we are working towards commercializing our technologies in North Dakota and domestically, we are very excited to take this step with Bulgaria to expand the reach of our work,\u201d said Dan Laudal, executive director of the UND College of Engineering & Mines Research Institute, who also took part in the negotiations.<\/p>\n

      \u201cThis is, I hope, the first of many such partnerships with allied nations around the world. I give all of the credit for this important milestone to the fantastic research team at the College of Engineering & Mines\u2019 Center for Process Engineering Research. I can speak for the team when I say we\u2019re eager to get started in this collaboration with Bulgarian Energy Holding.\u201d<\/p>\n
