FREDERICK, MD, Sept. 20 /Christian Newswire/ -- The United States is often called the Saudi Arabia of coal. Up to now, burning coal to generate electric power has created pollution harmful to our environment, damaging to our health, and that might contribute to climate change. Well, that's about to change. Plasma furnaces can retrofit old coal-burning electric power plants so that they meet strict new EPA requirements.

Commonly called "lightening in a jar", a plasma furnace heats coal to the temperature of the sun. At that high temperature, coal is converted into clean "syngas" which can be burned as an environmentally friendly fuel. Harmful pollution is siphoned away by the plasma furnace into an inert solid material, which can safely be used for a numbers purposes, such as aggregate for road construction.

In Somerset, Massachusetts an old coal power plant is currently being retrofitted with a plasma furnace which will generate 120 MW of power. This is the beginning of a clean coal revolution in the United States.
