| Summary: | Coal, still used to generate more than half of the electric power in the U.S., will likely be part of any future global energy plan. But this finite resource is also responsible for 80 percent of the CO2 emissions from power production, and its continued use will require improved processing techniques that are less damaging to the environment and less costly. One viable option is the use of ""clean coal"" energy conversion devices that rely on the combustion of gasified coal, referred to as synthesis gas, or syngas.
