How Chemistry Makes Coal Cleaner: Reviving the Coal Industry Coal is the dirtiest form of power production here in the US. With the increasing regulations targeting the coal industry, the industry must clean up or close shop. Developments are being made to cut the CO2 produced by coal. Developments like hybrid coal, fuel cells and chemical reactions to strip the oxygen out of the carbon dioxide. The same ethanol put into cars can turn those filthy power plants into something cleaner and less hungry

that can be utilized. There is coal, which is a nonrenewable energy resource because there is a limited amount of supply. Then there is wind and hydropower, which are considered renewable energy resources; because there is an infinite amount of supply. The city council may want to take into consideration these two renewable energy sources for the many different advantages each source has to offer. West Virginia has an abundance of natural energy resources such as coal, wind, and hydropower; all of

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photovoltaic effect.[2] Photovoltaics were initially, and still are, used to power small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single

fossil fuels used are coal, natural gas, and petroleum (Oracle). Some of the advantages of fossil fuels are that they are easily distributed, relatively inexpensive, are readily available, and can be converted through a simple combustion process (Oracle). Coal is a fossil fuel and is the altered remains of prehistoric vegetation that originally accumulated in swamps and peat bogs (Word Coal Association). The energy we get from coal today comes from the energy that plants absorbed from the sun

Is "clean" coal possible? In the article it says that scientists and engineers have found a way to burn coal that won't fill the atmosphere with the fumes from it. So there for yes I do think that "clean" coal is possible. The article says that if it succeeds then about 65% of the carbon dioxide that's pumped out by the plant from reaching the atmosphere making coal about as "clean" as natural gas. The technology actually works but it is very expensive. The Kemper plant cost about $5 billion. "I

China and Russia have begun to fuel most of their energy using solar power and water, yet the United States continues to stick to the older ways of coal, oil and nuclear plants to power our part of the world. There have been studies and research done on how the toxic pollution from these dirty forms of energy is causing major damage to the environment. There are even more problems with the people who have to live near these energy plants or breathe in the harmful air which can cause heart problems, cancer

HOW IS COAL FORMED Fossil fuel formed from the remains of vegetation that grew about 300 - 400 million years ago when the earth was covered by steamy swamps Often referred to as “buried sunshine” Plants which formed coal captured energy from the sun through photosynthesis to create the compounds that make up plant tissue Most important element in plant material is carbon - gives coal most of its energy When the plantation and animals died, their remains sank to the bottom of these swamps
