WASHINGTON, D.C., October 29, 2025 — Powerscape Global today announced the appointment of Steve Winberg as President of Engineering, marking a major milestone in the company’s global deployment of its next-generation Coal Gasification 2.0 technology.
In this new role, Mr. Winberg will lead all technical execution across Powerscape’s engineering and deployment programs, bridging innovation with large-scale commercialization.
He will report directly to Karl Moor, President & CEO, and work closely with Dr. Guohai Liu, Chief Technology Officer; Dr. Pannalal Vimalchand, Director of Technology; Julie Xu, President of Strategy; Tony Kavanagh, President of Public Policy; Jackson Stephens, Chief Operating Officer; and the Advisory Board Technical Committee.
Mr. Winberg previously served as the Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy and Acting Under Secretary of Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy, where he oversaw DOE’s program offices in Fossil Energy, Nuclear Energy, Electricity, and related divisions. During his tenure, he launched the CoalFIRST initiative, expanded U.S. LNG export authorizations, and championed the creation of new markets for coal-derived products and zero-emission hydrogen.
At Powerscape, Mr. Winberg will lead the company’s engineering teams through the commercialization of
the Powerscape Coal Gasifier (PCG)—a simplified, high-throughput, zero-moving-parts gasification system capable of processing a broader range of coals while capturing CO2 for reuse. The system underpins Powerscape’s four flagship U.S. projects in Wyoming, North Dakota, West Virginia, and a Sovereign Tribal Nation, with global expansion to follow.
