Power stations 'must cut emissions'
Updated on 22 July 2008
The Government must set a deadline for coal-fired power stations to install technology to massively cut their emissions or be shut down, a committee of MPs has urged.
The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) said "urgent and ambitious" steps were needed to develop measures to capture and store underground the carbon produced by burning fossil fuels.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) can cut emissions by as much as 90%, and power stations should face limits of that order to ensure it is employed.
