Does clean coal really exist?

Question

Or is it just propganda by the coal companys?

Answer 1

it does exist, but its production cost is prohibitivelly high enough to forget about using it as a common fuel source

Answer 2

Clean coal does not exist. Research is going on to produce a process that will make  a pollution free or low pollutant coal. The final product/process is a long way down the track and will cost billions of $ to achieve.

As a passing comment anthracite is a hard coal, high in carbon content and a good producer of heat  but it is not clean

Answer 3

This coal is called Anthrasite, and is widely distributed in the UK. Seams are never more that a few feet thick, and usually 1200 feet or so beneath the surface.
