Our production line is struggling to cope with the rising costs of clean energy, and we're considering reverting to coal energy. How can we do this without increasing our greenhouse gas emissions?

Reverting to coal energy without increasing greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved by capturing the carbon dioxide emissions from the coal and storing them safely, such as in depleted oilfields or underground. The cost of this carbon capture and storage (CSS) will depend on the technology used, but CSS can provide a cost-effective solution for reducing emissions from using coal for energy. Additionally, some organizations are working on developing carbon-free forms of coal, which could potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions further.

Switching to coal energy will likely require an adjustment in technology and equipment used on the production line. This could include switching to more efficient coal burning equipment and installing effective greenhouse gas mitigation systems such as scrubbers. Additionally, introducing renewable energy sources such as solar or wind can help offset any increased emissions caused by reverting to coal energy. Finally, increasing employee awareness of the environmental implications of their work can help reduce emissions in the long term.
