ACCCE Economic Benefits of Clean Coal Study - Press Conference Highlights

There are tremendous benefits to developing carbon capture and storage technologies, but don't just take our word for it. In a report conducted by BBC Research and Consulting, a coalition of key labor groups find that between 5 million and 7 million man-years of employment could be created during construction and a quarter of a million permanent jobs added from deployment of advanced coal-based electricity generation facilities (power plants) equipped with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies that reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The groups involved are the Industrial Union Council of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers (IBB), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA).
