These could be some very useful studies, especially for those who need technical data. Perhaps it could even be useful in CCS rule-making, etc.

Can the U.S. phase out coal’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2030?
A new paper by a leading group of scientists, engineers, and architects argues that the U.S. could eliminate CO2 emissions from coal in 20 years.
