What is another word for clean coal?
Pronunciation: [klˈiːn kˈə͡ʊl] (IPA) 
Clean coal, also known as low-emission coal, is a term used to describe coal technologies that emit fewer pollutants. However, despite the term's positive connotations, the process of coal combustion itself produces carbon dioxide and other emissions. Therefore, some alternative synonyms to clean coal have emerged to clarify the concept more accurately. These synonyms include high-efficiency low-emissions (HELE) coal, ultra-supercritical coal, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. While these terms offer closer representations of the reality of coal combustion, there is still a need to transition to renewables and decrease our reliance on fossil fuels to address climate change.
