Clean Coal Technologies

When it comes to coal and environment, the issue is more of availability and affordability, and that is what keeps coal from being stricken out of the energy sources list in our times. Generally considered as a big threat to the environment, coal is known to release large quantities of carbon dioxide in the air, adding to the problem of greenhouse effect (global warming), when it is converted to electric power. But coal power generation also gives out other harmful emanations like oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.

Still, coal is, so far, the cheapest solution for the problem of generating electric power on a large scale. In the US alone, it currently accounts for over half of the total amount of electric power generation. Wind power, on the other hand, is less than one per cent of the total power generated in the US. In developing countries, replacing coal with alternative sources of power is, at this time, next to impossible due to technological and cost issues. For environmental friendly approaches to power generation, there is hardly any other choice than focusing on clean coal technology.
