Hi,

It'll basically be using coal, one of the more traditional resources, with state of the art technology. The plant will create electricity and hydrogen while using carbon capture and storage. It'll be much more environmentally friendly than other energy production methods and hopefully it'll be an important research center for the energy production industry.

The idea is to capture and store carbon dioxide which will bring emissions nearly down to zero. The energy source will be coal but it will be used in a special, environment friendly way.
