Conclusion
• “Old coal” can be, and has been, improved
• Significant reductions in CO2 emissions will increase costs
of coal power if current technology is used
• In order to make coal power competitive while lowering
CO2 emissions, improvements are needed:
– In power generation systems
– In CO2 capture systems
– In finding safe and permanent options for CO2 storage

You cannot improve by standing still, it takes work
