adonispayton 100 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Clean coal refers to coal that underwent any clean coal technology (CCT) process. The Australian Coal Association describes clean coal technologies as technologies that are designed to enhance both the efficiency and the environmental acceptability of coal extraction, preparation, and use. It is meant to reduce emissions and wastes as well as increase the amount of energy gained from each ton of coal. Currently, there are a lot of CCTs in use and in development but their economic viability still remains to be seen.

Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 I'm all set with fossil fuels used for energy. Even if we go from oil to coal we're still dependent on a finite resource for our energy needs. It makes no sense to give up one pollutant for another. Coal mining is dangerous dirty work. ziuFW-7h1LM Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
