Squeezing Coal To Reduce Emissions

sbszine writes "Australian newspaper The Age has an interesting story on squeezing coal before burning it in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The process, discovered by Victorian scientists, is expected to make brown coal (lignite) burn 30% cleaner. Good news, as Australia is the world's number one exporter of coal."

Burning stuff doesn't usually produce nasty stuff... as long as your burn it completely. Most of the problems result when you burn something and it doesn't burn well. Partial combustion is a big cause of a lot of emissions.
