$90 Billion Investment in Emissions Reductions

May 2009

According to a new report from Energy Ventures Analysis, Inc., the U.S. power industry has invested roughly $90 billion dollars to deploy clean coal technologies to reduce air emissions since 1990.

The $90 billion deployment in emission-reduction technologies has greatly reduced the environmental footprint of today’s coal-based generating fleet. At the same time, prices for making electricity from coal have remained stable at about a third of the cost of other base load fuels.
