March 12, 2026 - Coal has more uses than electricity generation and steel production – CONSOL Innovations from Core Natural Resources is exploring new ways to use this abundant resource. Take CFOAM®, a non-combustible, lightweight coal-based carbon foam, with applications in military, industrial, aerospace and commercial product markets. There’s also a high thermal conductivity graphitic form of CFOAM that allows for excellent conductivity at a lighter weight than copper or aluminum.

Touchstone Advanced Composites is a CONSOL Innovations company that brings CFOAM innovation into commercially viable applications. By finding new, innovative and impactful solutions using coal-based materials, Core Natural Resources and CONSOL Innovations are creating a rich future.
