The Life Cycle Assessment of four technologies for CO{sub 2} recovery from coal-fired power generators, combined with nine CO{sub 2} sequestration systems, serves to expand the debate of CO{sub 2} mitigation methods beyond a single issue - prevention of global warming - to a wider range of environmental concerns: resource depletion, acidic and toxic gases, wastes, etc., so that the overall, and unexpected, environmental impacts may be revealed. 48 refs., 9 figs., 2 tabs.
