Critics question clean coal

April 11, 2008· No Comments

The storing of CO2 gases in an underground gas reservoir is being questioned by the National Generations Forum. John Boshier says, “With 80 per cent of Australia’s generation from coal, that means we have to find carbon capture and storage sites for most of that,”

“That’s 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide at the moment, rising to let’s say 300 million tonnes by 2030. That’s a lot of carbon storage sites to find.”
