B9 Coal
Encyclopedia
B9 Coal has created a world first template for commercially attractive, flexible, clean energy projects intent on revolutionising the way we produce electricity. By combining alkaline fuel cells with fossil fuels, B9 Coal provides an essential step in the move to a low carbon future. Presenting a global model for clean energy generation they are transforming coal from the dirtiest fossil fuel to the cleanest.
In August 2010 B9 Coal announced their first major collaboration project, bringing together a consortium of corporations to create a clean energy and carbon capture and storage (CCS)
project. The proposal is being put forward for the UK Government’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC
) CCS demonstration competition.
This project employs a new combination of technologies; Linc Energy's underground coal gasification (UCG) and AFC Energy’s alkaline fuel cells to generate low-cost electricity with upwards of 90% carbon capture.
The project was commented on heavily in the press including The Financial Times, Reuters and The Engineer.

Carbon capture and storage
Carbon capture and storage , alternatively referred to as carbon capture and sequestration, is a technology to prevent large quantities of from being released into the atmosphere from the use of fossil fuel in power generation and other industries. It is often regarded as a means of mitigating...
