That claim is only valid while there is a price on the head of CO<sup>2</sup>. I see from the link you provided they have a buyer so I say, take the money and run, if they are willing to pay for it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The main issue, at its root, is the infernal idea that black and organic carbon particles of incomplete combustion are ‘inherent in the fuel’. This gripped the minds of industry and academia years ago when un-removable things like Sulphur plagued the area around coal-fired power and industrial plants. It was sold on the basis of SO2 causing ‘acid rain’ – something shown to be completely untrue in the following years. Even the main guy promoting the ‘danger’ has published on the subject, saying there never was such a thing as an ‘acidified lake’ resulting from coal combustion. However the idea stuck that there are ‘inherent emissions’ in the coal just waiting to come out.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Then the logical leap was taken to include all emissions as if they are inherent (i.e. inside the coal already). This led to lignite being targeted as a ‘dirty smoky fuel’ when in fact what they had were power station burners build for low volatiles coal burning inappropriate fuel (lignite) generating lots of smoke and all of a sudden we had ‘proof’ that lignite cannot be burned cleanly.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I have been talking to Jim Jetter about the poor measurement efficiency of the Dustrak DRX we are using for determining PM 1.0 emissions by coal stoves in Ulaanbaatar. The use of light as a detection method gets less efficient as you get closer to the lower limit which is 0.1 microns. What I find most important is that whatever the measurement efficiency, the fact that the air going into the stove is much dirtier than the emissions coming out! So if the measurement efficiency is 10%, and the air shows 300 </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>µ</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>g/m<sup>3</sup> perhaps the real value is 10 times that (unlikely) or the machine self-corrects a reading of 30 and prints out 300.

Even underground it changes significantly for about 2 metres of ‘edge’ which they call ‘burned’ I think. It loses its volatiles and is more like carbon mixed with clay. If heated in a fire it will probably burn but not on its own under an overhead fire.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Regards<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Crispin<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
