CCT at Ole Miss

While here in Oxford, Miss., we ran into Professor Wei-Yin Chen at the chemical engineering department here at the University of Mississippi. He was excited to see our America's Power campaign on campus.

Professor Chen's department has been working on advanced technology for the clean burning of coal. His team is in the process of applying for a patent for a new system to further reduce nitrogen oxide during the combustion process.

He is also doing work on reducing carbon dioxide in coal-generating plants.

Already, he has secured over $2 million in federal funds for his bench-scale research.

Remember, there are clean coal technology projects all across the country.

I wonder if guys who propel Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and similar technologies ever think that they are not only storing Carbon but 2 atoms of Oxygen also with it, for several thousands of years. This Oxygen will be isolated from the whole environment and too much CO2 CCS will reduce the amount of atmospheric Oxygen creating much bigger problems for flora and fauna.
