Carbon Capture and Sequestration: Essential for Climate Change Protection

1/27/12

Carbon capture and sequestration is essential for climate change protection. This presentation focuses on the role of CCS in lowering carbon dioxide emissions and the growing importance China plays in climate change mitigation.

Underground Coal Gasification – Coming Soon to Wyoming?

11/04/11

After years of talk, things are starting to get real: developers are looking at pioneering underground coal gasification (“UCG”) projects in Wyoming. Some may see these projects as first steps to finally producing truly clean energy from coal, while others may perceive them as unnecessary, risky experiments. What’s the truth? Let’s explore the issues.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is necessary for climate stabilization. Underground coal gasification (UCG) can help make CCS affordable.

“NowGen”: Getting Real about Coal Carbon Capture and Sequestration

5/21/09

Progress toward a viable CCS industry needs to accelerate dramatically. This article argues for a concerted effort to build 20 GW of CCS in the U.S. and equivalent amounts in other OECD countries by 2020.

CCS Deployment Program
