Technology Development and Learning: Coal Gasification in China and the United States

Developing cleaner coal technologies that would mitigate the environmental effects of burning coal, including emissions of SO x , NO x , particulate matter and carbon dioxide, remains a critical task. Though the United States has led the development of cleaner coal technologies, that picture is rapidly evolving as China becomes a major user, developer and constructor of cleaner coal technology. This article explores the implications of these technological developments and market shifts for the future of cleaner coal technologies.
