Sustainable clean coal power generation within a European context – The view in 2006

The future use of coal will require strict environmental compliance with an increasing need to minimise emissions of CO 2, particularly from power plants. A pan-European approach is being established to ensure that EU industry can have available, by 2020, fossil fuel power plants that are either cap...

Description
Summary:The future use of coal will require strict environmental compliance with an increasing need to minimise emissions of CO 2, particularly from power plants. A pan-European approach is being established to ensure that EU industry can have available, by 2020, fossil fuel power plants that are either capable of capturing almost all their CO 2 emissions in an economically viable manner, or are designed to include CO 2 capture systems (“capture-ready”). The overall aim is to provide a significant impetus to research, development, demonstration and deployment activities such that coal and other fossil fuels can be used in a sustainable manner.
