Coal is the most plentiful fossil fuel, and provides the cheapest means to generate electricity. It also has the reputation of being the dirtiest. New technologies for converting coal into ultra-clean gas and for capturing any resultant CO2 emissions offer a way to continue to use coal as the main fuel for the world's expanding power needs, while meeting the challenge of curbing pollution.
