The 6 chapters that make up this volume are public domain documents. Various proceedings and testimonies come from the years 2007 and 2008. These offerings look at "clean coal" technologies such as coal gasification and carbon capture. Another chapter outlines four projects aimed at improving the performance of coal-fired power plants. Yet another paper proposes insight into the viability and profits of US exports of clean coal technology to other countries. These pieces may appeal to readers looking for accounts of government's involvement with coal and the marketplace, coal and energy independence and energy security.
