Clean Coal

Clean coal technologies aim to reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of coal-fired power plants, making coal use more environmentally sustainable.

How It Works

Methods include carbon capture and storage (CCS), advanced combustion techniques, and pollution controls to reduce sulfur, nitrogen, and particulate emissions.

Benefits of Clean Coal

These technologies lower emissions from coal plants, improving air quality. CCS could help reduce carbon output, allowing coal to play a role in energy transitions.

Challenges & the Future

High costs, scalability issues, and skepticism limit clean coal adoption. As renewables grow, coal’s future remains uncertain, but some regions continue investing in cleaner coal technology.
