Greening coal--Clean coal and carbon capture and storage projects

摘要

Canada's Clean Coal Technology Roadmap has helped to draw much-needed attention and support from the coal industry, its supply-chain, academic and research groups as well as various government agencies to the issues of clean coal technology and carbon capture and storage (CCS) CCS involves capturing carbon dioxide from large industrial sources before it is emitted into the atmosphere, where it can contribute to climate change.The captured gas can be safely stored in mature oil and gas reservoirs or certain deep geologicai saline formations. It is obvious from the significant clean coal and CCS projects underway that Canadian companies are very serious about reaching the important energy-related targets that have been set. They have evidently picked up the gauntlet and are prepared to tackle these tough issues head-on.
