lateline last night - clean coal, page-4

Good summary 59. Think it was also said that UK Govt. requires coal-fired power generators to reduce CO2 emissions by 25% by 2012 and to zero by 2025.

Any mention of UCG was conspicuously absent.

From Cougar website: The syngas generated from UCG can be readly processed to remove its CO2 content for subsequent sequestration, thereby providing a source of clean energy with greenhouse gas emissions of less than for 0.4 tonnes per MWh.

Concur with comments about ramping but the UCG story certainly needs a higher public profile. The ABC Science Show has taken up plenty of stories like this. Wave energy for example, not so long ago.
