John Hoeven, R-N.D., a member of the Senate Committee on Energy &amp; Natural Resources, said the EERC\u2019s efforts allow North Dakota\u2019s energy producers to remain economically viable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe EERC has been near and dear to my heart because of all the great things you do,\u201d he said. \u201cThis funding that we get, and you deploy, is what enables us to keep a coal-fired energy industry in this state when others are going out of business. You are leading the way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charles Gorecki, CEO of the EERC, praised Hoeven\u2019s advocacy at the federal level \u2014 which led the organization to honor the senator with its Energy Champion Award in 2017. In particular, Gorecki highlighted the senator\u2019s work in the fields of carbon capture, hydrogen technology, emissions control and critical minerals and rare earth metals, among others.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35457\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35457\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35457\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/05\/IMG_5758.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/05\/IMG_5758.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/05\/IMG_5758-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/05\/IMG_5758-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charles Gorecki, CEO of the EERC, speaks at an event celebrating a $5.1 million U.S. Department of Energy grant for the advancement of carbon capture and storage technology.
