Clean coal technology
Due to the current review of the coal industry, the use of coal for electricity generation is under scrutiny. One factor which differentiates coal from gas and light oils is its relatively high emissions; this has spurred research to develop ‘clean coal’ technologies which offer increased efficiencies and reduced atmospheric pollution.
This POSTnote reviews clean coal technologies and their potential in the UK and overseas.
