Clean Coal Technologies

Clean Coal Technologies (CCTs) mitigate the environmental impact of coal by reducing carbon dioxide emissions and reducing water usage. The wider use of these technologies are essential, especially in countries where coal usage is set to increase.

Carbon Capture Use and Storage (CCUS) technologies significantly reduces emissions from power generation and key industrial processes such as steel and cement manufacturing. Emissions of carbon dioxide are stripped out of the exhaust stream from coal combustion and disposed of without entering the atmosphere.

Facts about CCUS:
The IEA estimates that 13% of emission reductions by 2060 must come from CCUS
The IPCC has shown it would be 138% more expensive to meet climate goals without CCUS
