New technology promises to produce clean coal

It looks like a technology developed specifically for China, even though it took 16 years to get here. But now, after several hold-ups, such as a major interruption (by 9/11 terror attacks), it has finally found its way to China.

US-based Clean Coal Technologies Inc (CCTI), led by CEO Larry Hunt, claims to have created the world's most effective technology for turning coal into a clean energy resource.

CCTI announced at the ongoing China (Taiyuan) International Coal and Energy New Industry Expo that it has made its first moves to apply its technology to industrial operations by joining forces with Shanxi Poar, a fast-growing private-sector company led by Datong entrepreneur Guo Lihua.
