New UK coal must be partly'clean'

摘要

Any new coal-fired power station built in Britain must deploy carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology on 400 megawatts of its output, the country's energy and climate minister Ed Miliband announced on 23 April. If the Environment Agency judges CCS to be technically and economically 'proven', it would have to be retrofitted to cover the full output of new plants (typically 1,000-2,000 megawatts) by 2025.
