There is no such thing as "clean coal". People who talk about it, such as in TV commercials, are just trying to fool you with a lot of nonsense.
Burning coal always produces carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur trioxide, and carbon monoxide, and those are all dangerous pollutatants and generators of acid rain.
In addition, most of the smokestack gases listed above are strong greenhouse gases and they trap head in the atmosphere. That contributes to climate change, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and the enlargement of deserts.

What are some disadvantage of clean coal?
Some disadvantages of clean coal is that it pollutes the air.
What type of coal has the most stored energy?
Coal that has become diamond.
How important is it to use clean coal technology?
It is very important to use clean coal technology. The pollutants from burning coal causes health problems as well as environmental problems. The clean coal technology cuts back on these pollutants and provides a cheap form of energy.
What can clean coal power?
oxygen
What has the author Bruce G Miller written?
Bruce G. Miller has written: 'Clean coal engineering technology' -- subject(s): Clean coal technologies, Environmental aspects, Coal-fired power plants, Coal-fired furnaces, Coal
Is clean coal renewable or nonrenewable?
clean coal is not renewable
Which is not a byproduct of burning coal that must restricted in order to produce clean coal?
Water vapor
Does coal burn clean?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CLEAN COAL, and people who say that there is are just trying to fool you. Burning coal always releases carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and other dangerous and noxious pollutatnts.
Who discovered the use of clean coal?
There is not any such thing !
What is anthracite a type of?
Coal. Anthracite is a very hard very clean burning metamorphic type of coal.
Which kind of crusher is a good machine for crushing coal?
A Coal Crusher Machine is good for crushing coal.
What is clean coal - or green coal?
Burning of coal, a fossil fuel is one of the principal causes of climate change and global warming."Clean coal" or "Green coal" is a theory that we can capture all the pollutants including sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide from coal as it is burnt and store them, instead of releasing them as greenhouse gases.The carbon dioxide will then be pumped underground into vacant spaces where oil and natural gas used to be. This will be known as "carbon sequestration".Countries that rely on coal for their economies and electricity generation (Australia, for one) are hoping that clean coal will let them continue using and exporting "clean" coal without the carbon pollution attached.Unfortunately there are no examples of successful coal "cleaning" so far.Many environmentalists believe that the term clean coal is misleading: "There is no such thing as 'clean coal' and there never will be. It's an oxymoron" (Sierra Club director, Dan Becker).Complaints are:Coal mining has a high environmental impactCarbon Sequestration costs will be extremely highThere is no sure science on how to capture or store the pollutants.A: Clean coal is essentially a lie made up by politicians to fool voters into believing the government is acting on the energy crisis. In the real coal industry, "clean coal" has been implemented in 6% of coal-power stations, and is now no longer being used in any stations. The chemistry behind clean coal produces highly toxic chemicals as a by-product, and hence cannot be used to fix the energy crisis. It certainly isn't good for the environment. As an example of the difficulties involved, Australia's coal-fired power stations produce 260 trillion liters of carbon dioxide every day (260,000,000,000 liters). The energy required to compress and sequester this would use massive amounts of the power generated by the "cleaned" coal.Clean coal is a term for technology (Clean coal technology) that mitigates emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gasses that arise from the burning of coal for electrical power. It reduces the harmful emissions caused by the burning of fossil fuels.coal that is burned with technology that cuts the amount of soot and sulfur dioxide emitted
