‘‘SEC. 3101. FINDINGS; PURPOSES; DEFINITIONS. 
‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
‘‘(1) new environmental regulations present ad-
ditional challenges for coal-fired electrical generation 
in the private marketplace; and

with industry, has already fully developed and com-
mercialized several new clean-coal technologies that 
will allow the clean use of coal. 
‘‘(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this title are to—
‘‘(1) promote national energy policy and energy 
security, diversity, and economic competitiveness 
benefits that result from the increased use of coal;
166

and increase the marketplace acceptance of the new 
clean coal technologies; and 
‘‘(3) advance the deployment of pollution con-
trol equipment to meet the current and future obli-
gations of coal-fired generation units regulated 
under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7402 and fol-
lowing).

lutant; 
‘‘(4) advanced combustion technology for the 
control of at least two pollutants, including mercury, 
particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur diox-
ide, which may also be designed to improve the en-
ergy efficiency of the unit; and

processes designed to allow use of the waste byprod-
ucts or other byproducts of the equipment or an 
electrical generation unit designed to allow the use
