The report, 'Future Value Of Coal Carbon Abatement Technologies To UK Industry' by AEA, was published on 17 June alongside the Government's consultation document 'A framework for the development of clean coal'.

Under the government's proposals, new coal-fired power plants will not be given consent unless they demonstrate CCS on at least 300MW of capacity from day one, with each demonstration project required to store 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide over 10 to 15 years.
