CoorsTek has received unanimous approval from the Golden, Colorado City Council for its 9th Street redevelopment plan. As a sign of incredible endorsement from the city of Golden, we received a 20-year vesting period for every key element of our vision and package of community benefits. We discontinued manufacturing operations at our 9th St. facility in 2021, and plans are underway to replace the industrial operations with a vibrant new mixed-use district of commercial, residential, and hospitality uses that will be built over the next decade or so. The CoorsTek 9th Street property has been in continuous ownership by the Coors family since 1884. The Coors family plans to remain the long-term owner of the land and buildings and will act as its developer. In the first phase of the project, CoorsTek plans to relocate back to its legacy home in Golden by building a new global corporate headquarters on the 9th Street Site.

CoorsTek announced that a development team from CoorsTek Membrane Sciences, in collaboration with international research partners, have successfully used ceramic membrane technology to develop a scalable hydrogen generator that makes hydrogen from electricity and fuels with near zero energy loss. The report published in an April issue of Science is promising news for use of hydrogen in fuel cell cars and other clean energy value chains. “Energy efficiency is key to the future of hydrogen as a clean fuel” says co-author Irene Yuste, chemical engineer at CoorsTek Membrane Sciences and PhD candidate at the University of Oslo. “Our work shows that protonic membranes can make hydrogen from ammonia, natural gas and biogas so efficiently that hydrogen fuel cell cars will have lower carbon footprint than electric cars charged from the electricity grid.” Authors of the report published in Science include scientists and engineers from CoorsTek Membrane Sciences, the University of Oslo and the research institute SINTEF in Norway, and the Instituto de Tecnología Química in Valencia, Spain.
