These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro. Energy source Proportional amount of emissions relative to hydro Coal 175.9

Australia-based underground coal gasification (UCG) company Linc Energy ( earlier post ) has signed an exclusive agreement with the UK-based alkaline fuel cell technology company AFC Energy Plc and its related company, B9 Coal ( earlier post ). A downside of AFCs has been CO 2 contamination of the electrolyte, reducing efficiency.

Geologic storage is currently focused on five types of formations:(1) depleted oil and gas reservoirs, (2) deep saline formations, (3) unmineable coal seams, (4) oil- and gas-rich organic shales, and (5) basalts. Researchers will investigate the feasibility of geologic CO 2 sequestration in depleted shale gas reservoirs.

The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, ultimately, contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet. An additional 35% is from natural gas, which emits the least CO2 of any fossil fuel. What is the potential for reducing emissions? But again, location matters.
