Other clean coal technologies include those that that dewater low rank coals. Low rank coals often contain a higher level of moisture content which contains a lower calorific content per tonne. This causes a reduced burning efficiency and an increased emissions output. Reduction of moisture from the coal prior to combustion can reduce emissions by up to 50 percent.[citation needed]
