The study therefore recommends the development of technologies for capturing and storing CO2, which prevent carbon dioxide from spreading into the atmosphere, where it then remains stationary for almost 150 years.
According to the author, these technologies make it possible to reduce the CO80 emissions linked to the production of electricity from coal by 90 to 2%.
Bush is necessarily interested since the USA has the world's largest coal reserve. I read that yesterday I don't know where ..... I think it's in the wanadoo news.
"The medium-term use of coal must be conditioned to the sequestration of CO2", he underlines.
But this, he adds, does not only depend on the development of technologies: "it will also require a global regulatory framework to impose it on operators, taking into account the additional costs involved".
Finally, he argues, these technological advances should not exempt companies from thinking about saving energy or diversifying their energy sources.
Who has info on the sequestration of CO2 at the bottom of the oceans, I heard or read that scientists are skeptical about this method ....... maybe Jean Marc Jancovici talks about it on his site www.manicore.com ?
There is also talk of using coal to replace oil .... how to do it without sending CO2 into the atmosphere?
