In the end, natural gas will always be a fossil fuel that would need to be phased out (or its global
warming pollution captured and stored) in the next few decades to avoid even worse climate change.
Not exact matches
The technology, called carbon
capture and storage, or CCS, collects planet -
warming carbon
pollution produced by power plants and permanently removes it from circulation.
But even if the carbon released during production were somehow
captured and sequestered — a technology that remains unproven at any meaningful scale — some studies indicate that liquid coal would still release 4 to 8 percent more global
warming pollution than regular gasoline.
Despite the ads» claims, an analysis by the Center of American Progress determined that ACCCE's companies spend relatively few dollars conducting research on carbon
capture and storage, the most promising clean coal technology to reduce global
warming pollution from coal - fired power plants.
They
capture the immense beauty, but impending fragility, of locales facing parallel threats of global
warming,
pollution, and human intrusion.
Hailed as the first - ever nationwide limit on climate -
warming pollution for power plants, the proposal would require that newly built coal - fired power plants
capture and store underground about 20 to 40 percent of the carbon they emit.
