This set of two hearings discussed the status of the Clean Coal Technology Program which was established to promote the use of coal in an environmentally sound manner. Witnesses discussed the technologies, their commercialization, and constraints to commercialization. The technologies discussed were coal cleaning and upgrading; wet flue gas desulfurization; dry sulfur dioxide control; nitrogen oxides control by combustion and reburning and by postcombustion; atmospheric and pressurized fluidized bed combustion; and integrated gasification combined cycle power generation. Testimony was heard from 14 witnesses, representatives of Electric Power Research Institute, American Electric Power Service Corp, Kentucky Energy Cabinet, Edison Electric Institute, National Coal Association, Department of Energy, Gas Research Institute, and representatives from West Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, and Idaho.
