How can clean coal technology be done?

-crushing the coal into small chunks and washing out the sulfur dioxide. -burn the coal, reducing the NOx. this is called 'staged combustion'. -using a 'fluidized bed boiler', realising the sulfur dioxide, then the limestone captures the sulfur and changes it into calcium sulfate. hope this helps...its just a rough draft of how clean coal tech can be done though.


How was coal extracted from the earth?

Coal is extracted in two methods. One is by digging tunnels into the earth and following the vein of coal, removing it by rail cart. The other is strip mining where they remove the earth above the coal and dig down to it. This way usually involves the removal of entire mountain tops to get at the coal. Recently however they have started to replant the vegetation when they are done to reclaim the land back to a natural state.
