    Just so you know, each of the headlines you posted suggested that China’s consumption of coal is more than ever before, in agreement with the prior poster. Also clean coal has nothing to do with CO2 reduction, it’s scrubbing other nasties like SO2.

    It’s good that they’re expecting this to max out imminently, but it’s still a max.

      Supercritical coal reactors are absolutely used to reduce CO2 emissions per unit coal, what do you mean?

      Higher efficiency -> less losses from heat/etc -> fewer emissions
