Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton. As described in an open-access paper in the journal Advanced Energy Materials , the new system is designed to fit into coal-, gas-, or biomass-fired power plants, as well as cement kilns and steel plants.
