The largest fraction of the world’s electricity is generated by burning coal. Coal is plentiful, has a high energy value, is easily transportable and storable, and provides dispatchable energy. Coal also produces many pollutants harmful to the environment and human health when burned, requires huge quantities of water to process, and is the largest source of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on the planet.

It is this last fact that is driving interest in what are called “clean coal technologies.” It is widely acknowledged by observers both pro- and anti-coal that without addressing CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants, any significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions overall is not possible.

The goal of this report is to provide readers with analysis of the market for clean coal technologies worldwide. Specifically, this is accomplished by:

• Outlining the coal industry 
• Providing an overview of the key clean coal technologies available today
• Analyzing the intellectual property landscape for clean coal technologies
• Estimating the size of the market for clean coal technologies
• Profiling key companies within the clean coal industry
• Profiling key clean coal projects

This report is designed for use by readers with a need to understand where the clean coal market is headed and what technologies and companies are involved in it. The report and its analysis should be of interest to executives of companies involved in or seeking to become involved in the clean coal market, entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists and others who might be affected by the direction of clean coal technologies in the next four years, as well as to members of the coal and power generation industries.
