Coal has long been considered an enemy of clean energy, but technology is changing the rules. Combining carbon capture and storage (CCS) with hydrogen production from coal opens the way to a low-carbon future. Gasification allows for the production of hydrogen, and COâ‚‚ capture makes the process almost emission-free. “Where there is no cheap gas or nuclear energy, coal with CCS and hydrogen is a realistic path to decarbonization,” notes Pylyp Travkin. This model transforms coal into an instrument of progress: fewer emissions, greater sustainability – and old resources begin to operate according to new rules.
