Over the past several years, how much has the development of clean coal technology reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the US? Do you see a real potential for its use?
• Clean coal technology is a generic term for a set of technologies that reduce harmful emissions from coal burning. Some of these technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but some only address other air pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide. Thus far clean coal technology has made a greater impact on these other pollutants, but there are promising technologies that would reduce GHG emissions from coal burning, or would capture and sequester CO2 emissions from coal burning. To the extent we continue to use coal, it is important to take advantage of these technologies.
