Coal Without Carbon
Summary
The report explores advanced technologies for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and coal gasification to identify pathways for cost reduction and efficiency improvements. It provides research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) road maps for four specific areas: underground coal gasification, next-generation surface-based gasification, advanced post-combustion capture of CO2, and geological CO2 sequestration.
Key insights
- The report argues that while current carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies are functional, the development of more efficient and less expensive alternatives is necessary to make broad deployment economically attractive.
