Clean Coal
Just a few points - IGCC plants can be built within the ten years stated - they use a lot of existing technology and integrate it.
The syngas produced when using carbon capture is mainly hydrogen - when you burn hydrogen in a gas turbine, the combustion products are hydrogen + oxygen - i.e. water vapour.
Regarding the 'bad' effect of removing mercury etc. from the emissions, surely replacing existing coal and future clean coal plant with renewables would exacerbate that supposed problem?
