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. |
