Research and Markets: Clean Coal Report: U.S. Emerging Technologies, R&D and Next Generation Equipment

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5a050b/clean_coal u_s_e) has
announced the addition of the "Clean Coal: U.S. Emerging Technologies, R&D and
Next Generation Equipment" report to their offering.

Coal is expected to provide at least half of electricity in the US over the next
15 years, despite coal's association with pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions. And the US Energy Information Agency projections forecast an
additional 87 gigawatts of new coal-fueled generation will be constructed by
2025. To meet this demand, the US government's Clean Coal Power Initiative is
providing government co-financing for new coal technologies that can help
utilities cut sulfur, nitrogen and mercury pollutants from power plants.

Some early clean coal projects are demonstrating technologies to reduce
greenhouse emissions by boosting the efficiency by which coal plants convert
coal to electricity or other energy forms. Coal gasification electric power
plants are now operating commercially in the United States and in other nations,
and many experts predict that coal gasification will be at the heart of future
generations of clean coal technology plants.

Among the opportunities that are emerging from clean coal research, development
and commercialization, in August 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE)
announced that it will invest a total of $27.6 million in 19 projects to
evaluate the potential risks of storing carbon dioxide (CO2) in geologic
formations.

This report includes advanced coal cleaning, combustion, gas separation, and the
CO2 capture & sequestration technologies, markets and forecasts. It also
presents the latest trends and prospects for the industry.

1. Introduction: Clean Coal Technologies and Equipment
