Clean Coal Technology

Clean coal technology refers to a set of processes and methods aimed at reducing the environmental impact of coal use. This includes improvements in the efficiency of coal-burning power plants, capturing carbon dioxide emissions before they enter the atmosphere, and using processes that minimize pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The goal is to make coal a cleaner energy source while still benefiting from its availability and affordability. Clean coal technologies strive to balance energy production needs with environmental protection, addressing climate change and air quality concerns associated with traditional coal burning.
