Report to Congress on the relationships between projects selected for the Clean Coal Technology Program and the recommendations of the Joint Report of the Special Envoys on Acid Rain

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5058938
This report describes the projects selected by the US Department of Energy (DOE) under the Clean Coal Technology (CCT) Program and their degree of compatibility with the technology demonstration program recommended in the Joint Report of the Special Envoys on Acid Rain (JRSEAR). At the outset, it should be recognized that Congress directed the CCT Program to demonstrate a broad spectrum of coal technologies, in response to a diverse set of environmental, economic, and energy security goals. In contrast, the program recommended by the JRSEAR was sharply focused on technologies with the singular objective of reducing the adverse effects of acid rain. Nevertheless, in meeting the congressional mandate,DOE selected several technologies which are believed to also meet the criteria set forth in the JRSEAR.
