Technology to clean up coal for the post-oil era |
During the transition to the solar age an energy gap will have
to be filled. The thirst of populous emerging economies for
energy and the industrial countries’ sustained need for energy
will ensure a further rise in demand. However, it looks as if
the supply of oil, and later also natural gas, will not keep
pace with this demand. Only by leveraging every possible means
will it be possible to compensate the imbalances emerging on the
horizon. Coal can change from pariah to paragon of virtue. pdf.
