Alternatywne metody wydobycia i wykorzystania węgla kamiennego – badania nad technologią zgazowania węgla

Reduction of greenhouse gases is one of the most important goals of the European Union’s policy. The Community, in the so called climate package, comprised very restrictive objectives in this regard. In order to meet them, Poland needs to reduce the emission of those gases, at the same time using hard coal as its basic energy source. To help realise the two objectives, the so called clean coal technologies are to be applied, on which Polish researchers have been working for a few years already. NIK has audited the use of funds designated for the research entitled “Development of coal gasification technology for highly effective production of fuels and electricity”, financed by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR).
