Power companies have started to capture and sell carbon dioxide to oil companies, which pump it into old oil fields to force more crude to the surface
Investment is required now if the world is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet our planet’s energy needs

Coal accounts for less than 30 per cent of the world’s energy supply but more than 40 per cent of energy emissions
Any serious effort to protect future generations from climate change must also include technologies that render fossil fuel resources as clean as possible, says U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz
