At the same time, natural gas accounts for 51 of energy consumption, compared to 32 for oil and barely 17 for coal, renewables, and hydroelectric and nuclear power.

So developing CCS or an alternative that allows coal to become clean energy is essential for meeting the 2050 goal.

Even US electricity giant Duke Energy, a major coal consumer, won green kudos for promoting a US cap and trade scheme.

The most important technology for the safe environmental use of coal is the capture and geological storage of carbon dioxide from coal fired power plants.
