EU to Boost China's Coal Tech

EU is going to help China update its technology to generate cleaner coal power after a pact to be signed between two parts. Hope this ttech will not only reduce China's pollution but also bring down those notorous dealy coal mine accidents. Excerpts from Xinhuanet says:

The European Union (EU) and China will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on near-zero emissions coal technology next week, the European Commission (EC) announced here on Sunday.
The pact will be signed by EU Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs and Ma Songde, China's Vice Minister for Science and Technology during Piebalgs' visit to China next week.
The MOU builds upon and strengthens work on such programs or areas as the Action Plans on clean coal technologies, energy efficiency and renewable energy, the EU-China Dialogue on Energy and Transport Strategies, the Scientific and Technological Cooperation Agreement and the EU-China Energy and Environment Programme, according to the EC.
The MOU will encourage the development of technology allowing the capture and underground storage of carbon dioxide emitted from coal-fired power stations, a matter of potential significance in the fight against climate change.
It's not too late for China to learn such technologies. A stich in time saves nine!
