Coal is Vital to Our Energy Future
Coal powers our modern life and will be
a vital part of our energy future.
Clean Energy – Clean coal
technologies continue to improve our air
quality while providing reliable,
affordable electricity to power our
modern world.
-
Low-Sulfur Coal
Arch Coal has a leading position in
the nation's three major low-sulfur
coal basins.
-
Clean Coal Technologies
State-of-the-art equipment and new
treatments can be used by power plants
to further reduce emissions.
-
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
IGCC technology offers the potential
for new coal-fired plants and
retrofits to achieve gas-fired
emissions with higher efficiency
levels.
Coal-Gasification – Coal can be
converted to natural gas or hydrogen to
help feed our energy hungry world.
-
Coal to Natural Gas
In the United States, natural gas
reserves are increasingly difficult to
reach and coal is plentiful.
Converting coal to gas can help
alleviate supply constraints and
reduce energy costs.
-
Coal to Hydrogen
The U.S. Department of Energy’s
hydrogen from coal research plan seeks
a pilot plant by 2015 and the
technology to alleviate
transportation, cost and storage
barriers to a hydrogen economy.
Coal-Liquefaction – Converting
coal into liquid fuels, such as diesel,
gasoline, jet fuel and heating oil,
makes good use of our national
resources.
