Clean coal technologies are designed to stop the emissions of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. CO2 is captured and stored safely away for millions of years.
Governments are sinking a lot of money into this technology, as if it can be made to work, they will be able to keep on burning coal without contributing to global warming.
Sadly, they have no successful examples that are economically or commercially viable.
Underground storage is unreliable. Methods of removing and compressing the millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide use as much energy as is obtained from burning the coal, leaving nothing left to generate electricity.

Is technology is designed perfectly?
Broadly, no. Many technologies are able to be improved upon, so they are not perfect. For if they were, no improvements could be made.
How does West Virginia generate electricity?
The conversion of the energy in dirty coal to clean electrical energy which they then export.
What name did george stephenson give to his first successful railway engine?

How does clean coal reduce the emission so2?
"Clean coal" primarily from the Powder River Basin, is low in sulfur content compared to other coal sources, and therefor produces less SO2 when combusted. " Clean Coal Technologies" use chemical methods of "scrubbing" SO2 from exiting flue gasses before they can be released to the environment. One byproduct of this technology is gypsum which can be used in wall board for construction.
What are some disadvantage of clean coal?
Some disadvantages of clean coal is that it pollutes the air.
What type of coal has the most stored energy?
Coal that has become diamond.
How important is it to use clean coal technology?
It is very important to use clean coal technology. The pollutants from burning coal causes health problems as well as environmental problems. The clean coal technology cuts back on these pollutants and provides a cheap form of energy.

What can clean coal power?
oxygen
Is clean coal renewable or nonrenewable?
clean coal is not renewable
Is clean coal a political issue?
Yes, clean coal is a political issue. It involves debates over the feasibility and economic impact of carbon capture and storage technologies, as well as government policies and regulations regarding coal-fired power plants and their environmental impact. Policymakers often have differing views on the role of clean coal in addressing climate change and energy security.
Which is not a byproduct of burning coal that must restricted in order to produce clean coal?
Water vapor
Why do people still use coal?
it is cheap and readily available, new technologies have been developed to burn coal more cleanly than ever before.
