EU Lawmaker Calls For Clean Coal Incentives

The European Union must craft new financial incentives to "jump start" clean coal technology if it is to achieve ambitious targets to combat climate change, a leading lawmaker said on Monday. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is designed to trap carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants and heavy industry and store its underground. Supporters see it as a potential silver bullet in the fight against global warming.
