The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
September 30, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Description
Clean coal technology is being developed to reduce the environmental impact of utilizing coal in energy generation. Approximately 25% of the electricity generated worldwide is coal based. The required technologies include removing impurities from coal, followed by gasification, flue gas clean-up and carbon capture. There are technical, economic, social and political issues regarding the application of these technologies. This 90- minute accredited online training will address these issues and provide the attendees with a scientific, process and economic understanding of the current and potential utilization of clean coal technology.
