Maybe there is a better solution for “clean coal”. And look, charcoal may be the next “green coal” solution – not for barbequing but for sequestration.
Treehugger: Good news for people who like “clean coal”: a team of scientists from the Department of Colloid Chemistry at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces has discovered a novel “low-tech” way of using biomass to clean up carbon dioxide emissions.They suggest using a cost-efficient process known as hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) to turn fast-growing energy crops into a form of “bio-coal” that would be stored into “carbon landfills” that could act as effective carbon sinks.
