Last month, UK Coal chief executive Kevin McCullough was forced to reject reports that the company was seeking involuntary liquidation. McCullough rejected claims made in a Financial Times article that the firm was battling with cash flow problems after the fire. "We remain positive that we have an underlying profitable business."

Uk gov is going to protect the future of the coal industrry its a key priority of the Energy MInisters Nearly Half of all the electricity being generated in Britain today is from coal-fired stations United Kingdom will be using coal in a de carbonised economy through Carbon capture this is fact

the role of British coal in meeting our energy needs. Equipped with carbon capture and storage, coal generation can continue to play a significant long-term role as part of a future low-carbon energy mix.

Welcome to Carrington Power Carrington Power is an exciting new electricity generation project being developed in Carrington, Greater Manchester The power plant will enter commercial operation early in 2016 following a three-year construction period and will generate enough electricity to supply the needs of approximately one million homes.

The UK as a coal CCS leader? Really? As Germany still lacks a clear plan to move away from coal, perhaps DECC was looking at ways to eke out the life of the UK coal fleet. The Poyry report mentions - almost in passing - that: "Prospects for coal-fired carbon capture and storage projects appear to be most likely in the UK, where clear policies and programmes to build demonstration projects are in progress." That will be music to the government's ears after a recent parliamentary report suggested failure to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology could cost the UK economy between £30 and £40 billion a year. Large scale CCS would allow the UK to continue to burn coal and gas while meeting its emissions reduction target. But rolling out CCS on a large scale is still a long way off - the UK currently has no operational CCS plants
