Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Contents of Coal Chapter
It is clear that coal has a future as part of a balanced energy mix, and that new technology and applications are being developed to utilise the world’s largest fossil energy resource. What is also clear is that the world is at the beginning of a carbon-constrained future. A great deal has been done to alleviate local and regional pollution from coal applications, although greater utilisation of these technologies is vital. Carbon capture and storage is a key mitigation option in ensuring that the sustainability triptych of economic growth, energy security and environmental impacts is met.
