Environmental issues occur throughout the fossil energy fuel cycle.
Initiate full speed, no load testing with two gas turbine manufacturers. The technology choice made by these countries will have global as well as regional and local environmental consequences and are, therefore, of importance to the United States. Develop advanced coal-fueled systems, including cycles building on experience from the Clean Coal Technology Demonstration program. Objective 2 During the 2003-2010 period, make available technologies for existing coal powerplants that will significantly lower the cost of meeting more stringent environmental regulations. The Potential for Sequestration Controlling carbon emissions in a fossil fuel dependent world will be difficult, especially with rapidly growing energy demand in developing countries.
