A Guide to Carbon Capture and Storage

Can technology save the world's dirtiest fuel?

Carbon capture and storage is not being widely built today; the primary problem--it is expensive

The U.S. oil business has been using carbon dioxide to pump extra oil out of reservoirs for 36 years--and permanently storing some CO2 in the process

Burying greenhouse gas may be the only way to avoid a climate change catastrophe

From the North Sea to Texas, this slide show looks at existing technology to take the carbon dioxide out of coal burning and other fossil fuel use

Capturing carbon dioxide may be the only hope to avoid a climate change catastrophe from burning fossil fuels

The U.S.--and the world--has an abundant supply of coal. So does it make sense to turn it into a replacement for oil? David Biello reports

Cheap, plentiful coal is expected to fuel power plants for the foreseeable future, but can we keep it from devastating the environment?

The furious growth of China fueled by burning coal takes a toll on health and the environment

The best place to store all that carbon dioxide from power plants might turn out to be volcanic formations off the U.S. west coast

The FutureGen coal-fired power plant would not only have captured greenhouse gas emissions, it also would have produced hydrogen

A "clean coal" power plant is set to be built in Illinois in 2009; if it works, it could help avoid catastrophic global warming

If controlling global warming is a priority, then industries—from banking to cement manufacturing—will have to become efficient energy users, which will require a transformation of their basic operations

Could it be true that staving off the severe effects posed by climate change won't impose ruinous costs? The IPCC thinks so

A new report confirms that coal has a large role to play in meeting the world's energy demands, but to avoid runaway climate change, technologies to sequester its carbon need to advance quickly
