CLEANCOAL

Clean coal

In the United States, clean coal is a term for technology that mitigates emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses that arise from the burning of coal for electrical power. Typically, the term clean coal is used by coal companies in reference to carbon capture and storage, which pumps and stores CO2 emissions underground, and plants using an Integrated gasification combined cycle. This gasifies coal to reduce CO2 emissions. Historically, the term has been used to refer to technologies for reducing emissions of ash, sulfur, and heavy metals from coal combustion.
