The province filed comments Tuesday arguing the U.S. plans will only relax the rules, allowing out-dated plants to operate longer hours without installing modern pollution controls. “Air pollution from the U.S. coal-fired power plants continues to harm the health, environment and economy of Ontario,” said Environment Minister Laurel Broten.

| AMERICA: Coal's Many Friends | | 2007-06-29 00:01:00 | | Before passing its colossal energy bill last week, the Senate rejected coal-to-liquid fuel subsidies. But don't expect coal breaks to stay buried for long.A majority of 69 senators, including presidential candidate Barack Obama, D-Ill., actually voted for at least one of the two pro-coal amendments offered during last week's debate--one by Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., and one by Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont.Moreover, powerful interests, including the Air Force and the rail industry, are pushing for coal. The Air Force? Yep, it's thirsty for alternative sources of transportation fuel. It uses an estimated 2.6 billion gallons of jet fuel a year, and that could increase if future military conflicts require more flying sorties (North Korea, Iran) and fewer ground troops (Iraq).In fact, the Air Force has already begun testing a program to certify coal-based synthetic fuels for the B-52 bomber, a process that may lead to synthetic fuel use in all of its planes.

Gazprom can do it within the JV with Siberian Coal Energy Company. Still, experts believe the project will be aimed not so much at gas itself as at obtaining quotas within the framework of the Kyoto protocol.The monopoly begins developing coalmine methane Gazprom’s deputy chairman Alexander Ananenkov said that “very soon, already in 2007, the company will begin intensive works for developing coalmine methane deposits”.

| The Temporary Solution: Clean Coal | | 2007-02-05 00:27:00 | | Cross-posted with Thoughts on Global Warming.Via CNN: Coal, the clean energy of the future?Coal contains anywhere from 25 to 90 percent carbon, which combines with oxygen when burned to release energy. This process emits a host of noxious chemicals, such as carbon dioxide, sulfur, nitrogen oxide and mercury. Yet carbon in coal can also be used to strip oxygen from water, producing clean-burning hydrogen gas. FutureGen will liberate hydrogen by heating finely ground coal in a high-pressure, pure-oxygen environment, a process known as gasification and aturbine will burn the resulting hydrogen gas to produce electricity. As for emissions, the plant will pump the CO2 underground while the other pollutants are converted to an inert solid and buried.…Experts agree that the whole notion of trapping carbon is less a long-term solution and more a good stopgap. "Carbon sequestration you can do for 50 or 100 years," Friedmann says. "You do it until you have other options besides burning coal -- | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |
