On tap this week: stories from the people behind clean coal technology

You’ve probably heard us say we can reach our long-term global emissions reductions goals while protecting American families and businesses from higher energy costs.

How can we be so sure?

Well for one thing, some of America’s smartest people are working around the clock on the next generation of clean coal technology, which includes the capture and safe storage of carbon dioxide.

This week, ACCCE staffers will be spending time with the Research Experience in Carbon Sequestration (RECS) –a 10-day research program that advances scientific research and professional training in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS).

The faculty consists of experts from companies, labs and academic institutions such as Alstom Power, American Electric Power, Columbia University, Harvard University, Princeton University, Stanford University and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. We’ll be with RECS all week to share stories directly from the men and women behind clean coal technology.

Check out this week's lineup and stay tuned to Behind the Plug for photos and videos that bring their research to life.
