清洁煤战略A STRATEGY FOR CLEAN COAL

尤拉科在这里提出了一个务实的三步战略，为更清洁，更安全和更繁荣的未来。今天，政策制定者应该欢迎旧燃煤电站的更新和现代化，以此来提高能源效率和减少排放。在规划明天的世界时，我们应该投资于下一代高效燃煤发电站的研发，以灵活的方式补充可再生能源发电。最后一步是二氧化碳捕获和储存的示范和部署，一系列技术将看到煤炭成为最具竞争力的低碳发电源之一。要实现这一目标，需要一个新的公共基础设施：从工业区向合适的储存地点输送二氧化碳的主干管道。通过遵循这三个步骤，欧盟可以在一个煤炭在发电量中所占份额大幅度增加的世界上显示出全球领导地位。在欧盟，这一战略将允许电力用户从煤炭的所有优势中获益：供应安全、有竞争力的价格和丰富的资源。

EURACOAL presents here a pragmatic three- step strategy for a cleaner, securer and more prosperous future. Today, the replacement and modernisation of old coal-fired power stations should be welcomed by policy makers as a way to improve energy efficiency and to reduce emissions. In planning for tomorrow’s world, we should invest in R&D for the next generation of highly efficient coal-fired power stations that can complement renewable generation with their flexibility. The final step is the demonstration and deployment of carbon dioxide capture and storage, a suite of technologies that will see coal become one of the most competitive low-carbon sources of electricity generation. To achieve this will require a new public infrastructure: trunk pipelines to transport CO 2 from industrial regions to suitable storage sites. By following these three steps, the EU can show global leadership in a world where coal accounts for the largest share of electricity generation by a wide margin. In the EU, the strategy would allow electricity users to benefit from all the advantages of coal: supply security, competitive prices and abundant resources.
