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. TDA Research, Inc.

CIRES is a partnership of NOAA and the University of Colorado Boulder. If leak rates are too high, natural gas does not compare favorably with one alternative, coal, in terms of climate impact. The Colorado, Utah and California basins combined produce less than 3% of all US natural gas—much less than the eastern basins.

Stanford University has launched a new research initiative to study comprehensively the development and use of natural gas. Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. —Mark Zoback, a professor of geophysics and NGI’s director.

China, the world’s largest producer of hydrogen at upwards of 25 million tonnes a year, derives 62 percent of its total from coal, which creates 18 to 20 kg of CO 2 per kg of hydrogen. A massive substation at the coal-fired Intermountain Power Plant in Utah links the facility to transmission lines that deliver power to southern California.
