Clean Coal Technology

Clean Coal Technology aims to reduce sulfur, nitrogen and mercury emissions by washing and using electrostatic precipitators on coal to create clean fuel.  Flue gas is scrubbed or re-burned to reduce harmful emissions.  Carbon capture and storage technologies remove CO2 gas from the emissions and sequester it in the ground or ponds.
