Environmental Considerations
The World Coal Institute makes the following observations around environmental considerations regarding the use of coal:

“Coal, like all other sources of energy, has a number of environmental impacts, from both coal mining and coal combustion. The coal industry recognizes it must meet the challenge of environmental sustainability. In particular coal must significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions if it is to remain a part of a sustainable energy future. Technologies have already been developed that are capable of almost entirely eliminating local and regional pollutants from coal fired power generation. New more efficient coal-fired plants reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Already huge improvements have been made. The development and deployment of best practice clean coal technologies must continue.”

Many technologies are being actively and aggressively pursued including carbon capture and storage, hydrogen from coal, gasification and coal liquefaction.

Coal use has been, is now, and will be a critically important building block for a growing world of needs.
