Energy Technology Forum - Existing Coal Power Plants and Climate Change:CO2 Retrofit Possibilities and Implications

January 24, 2008

Washington Court Hotel on Capitol Hill 525 New Jersey Avenue, NW Washington DC

 

On January 24, 2007, over 100 participants attended the National Commission On Energy Policy’s Pulverized Coal Retrofit Forum where Senator George Voinovich joined with leaders from the power sector and the environmental community to highlight the enormous potential to address climate change via retrofit of the existing coal fleet and to examine the challenges associated with developing the necessary technologies.  Experts discussed and entertained questions about the status of current and future retrofit technologies, the strategies and hurdles associated with continued development and deployment of such technologies, and how such an agenda fits into the broader energy and climate policy debate moving forward.
