The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) organization accounts for almost 60 percent of world coal consumption and the largest share of coal related environmental pollution. APEC dominated growth of world coal consumption over the past decade and is likely to remain the largest growth area to 2010. Coal consuming economics of the APEC region are actively involved in a range of activities to reduce undesirable emissions from coal burning and to increase the efficiency of coal use. The increasing role of clean coal technologies in the APEC region is examined with emphasis on Asia.
