Sommario/riassunto

Coal use today is responsible for large, and mostly avoidable, damages to human health and our water and land. Coal use in the future, along with other fossil fuels, threatens to wreak havoc in the earth's climate system. This book looks at 'clean coal' technologies such as coal gasification and carbon capture.
