MIT SCIENTISTS PROPOSE HALFWAY HOUSE COAL CARBON CAPTURE
November 1st, 2008
BY MONICA DOBIE
RESEARCHERS from America's Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have proposed existing US coal power plants use a partial capture technology netting 45%-65% of emissions to generate electricity as opposed to 90%. They say such systems would be less expensive, while limiting CO2 emissions to those from natural gas power plants.
