The selected projects are intended to improve the economics of IGCC plants and promote the use of the US’abundant coal resources. For example, a 60%-efficient gasification power plant can cut the formation of carbon dioxide by 40% compared to a typical coal combustion plant, the DOE said.

We are beginning to get a sense of regional variation in methane emissions from natural gas production. If leak rates are too high, natural gas does not compare favorably with one alternative, coal, in terms of climate impact.

Seth Lyman, now with Utah State University’s Energy Dynamics Laboratory, is lead author of a paper documenting the research published in the journal Nature Geoscience. For example, mercury from coal burning in Asia could rise into the atmosphere and circle the globe several times before it is oxidized, then could come to the surface anywhere.

US emissions of CO 2 have declined to the level of the mid-1990s. Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Such fuels could lower greenhouse gas emissions from transportation compared with gasoline and diesel fuel.
