‘Changing the Game’ by Recycling CO2

An innovative solution to capture and store carbon dioxide that’s being advanced by a Silicon Valley start-up is based on what some might call a simple chemical reaction.

Playing to Win: Why Clean Coal is America’s Power Hitter

It’s a typical game night at Busch Stadium: The crowd cheers and chants, the St. Louis Cardinals round the bases. Then in the bottom of the sixth… the lights dim and the action stops. Without clean coal, it’s game over.

Clean Coal Has Scale to Alleviate Energy Poverty

Citizens with good access to electricity are far more likely to live longer, eat better and enjoy a higher education. Yet more than 2 billion people around the world lack adequate access to electricity.

Want to Reindustrialize the United States? Broad Deployment of CCS Is the Ultimate Economic Stimulus

Broad deployment of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies in the next 40 years will increase U.S. Gross Domestic Product by $2.7 trillion, create 28 million job-years over four decades from new construction, and support 800,000 permanent jobs related to operation and maintenance of these facilities, delivering the ultimate economic stimulus for a low-carbon economy.

Energy in the 'Aughts' Dominated by Coal

Coal is the hands-down winner as the world's fastest growing fuel of the "Aughts." That's the conclusion of the 2010 BP Statistical Review of World Energy. The industry’s comprehensive analysis of international energy trends reports a stunning fact: demand for a single mature commodity – coal – expanded by nearly 46 percent in the past decade, outpacing every alternative.

U.S. Department of Energy: We Have Hundreds of Years of Carbon Storage Capacity

America is blessed with enough carbon storage capacity to last at least 500 years, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The conclusion comes amid broad scientific backing for using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology as global energy leaders increasingly call for accelerating deployment of the technology.

Coal Hard Facts

International Energy Agency:
Construction of 100 gigawatts of coal-to-clean electricity by 2025 would mean that coal would satisfy more than 60 percent of the expected increase in electricity-generating capacity by using an additional 375 million tons of coal per year. This capacity would relieve price pressures on natural gas and allow it to be used in more cost-efficient and productive ways.
