Mon, 08/10/2009 - 17:11
The agreement is a one-year memorandum of understanding between Charlotte-based Duke, the third-largest U.S. utility, and China Huaneng Group, which produces 10 percent of that nation's coal-dependent electricity.

Under the agreement, Duke and Huaneng will begin a series of meetings to exchange information and explore long-term initiatives to reduce coal-plant emissions that contribute to climate change. They will also work on wind, solar and other forms of renewable energy.

CO2 storage protests in Denmark

Thu, 08/06/2009 - 12:58
"...about 25 landowners in the area have now united under the banner ‘No to CO2 Storage Association’ to fight the project.... Vattenfall has offered Jammerbugten landowners 3,700 kroner each plus 1,000 kroner per hectare in compensation to get them ‘on side’ with the project. So far, 306 area residents have agreed to the project.
But according to the association of landowners opposed to the project, Vattenfall has also threatened to use the expropriation law to get around those who refused."

tehran times : A sustainable future for coal?

Thu, 08/06/2009 - 12:49
Potential project in Iran would combine underground coal gasification and fuel cells at Firth of Forth field.

"Rather than having the coal dug out, oxygen and water would be pumped down the mine to create a white-hot chemical reaction that turned the coal into gas. This process would not only generate electricity more efficiently than wind, nuclear or conventional gas and coal power plants, but would enable the capture and storage of more than 99 per cent of the CO2 contained in the fuel before it escaped into the atmosphere."
