WASHINGTON, May 23 (UPI) -- The National Coal Council presented the U.S. Department of Energy with suggestions on how to boost clean coal.
The NCC gave the department its recommendations for technology and regulatory frameworks to increase the United States' use of clean coal.
NCC officials suggest coal used in newer and cleaner ways is needed for energy security, environmental improvement and economic prosperity.
The study, "The Urgency of Sustainable Coal," was conducted at the request of U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman and is the fourth major study presented by the NCC in five years.
"Coal is an essential part of the world's energy future," said Georgia Nelson, president and chief executive officer of PTI Resources Inc. and NCC chairwoman. "The United States has a unique opportunity to advance clean energy solutions from coal that will alleviate energy poverty and address concerns about climate."
The study recommends an advanced portfolio of technology options for the electric power industry, more research on coal-based electricity generation and carbon capture and storage technologies, incentives to deploy advanced coal-based electricity technologies coordinated with plug-in vehicles, congressional funding for large demonstration projects, and transferring technology to emerging nations such as China and India.
