LONDON, April 16 /PRNewswire/ --

Faced with concerns about the climate change and global warming, various industry groups hold up clean coal as a solution. The power generation market is characterised by rising energy demand and fossil fuels' growing importance in the energy mix. Relatively stable prices and geographically diversified reserves make coal a fossil fuel suitable to sustain increasing energy needs. Growing concerns over rising level of carbon emissions dictate the need for cleaner technologies to burn coal, driving next generation clean coal technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS). At the same time, advanced clean coal technologies such as CCS are at a pre-commercialization stage and face a number of challenges.
