This is the VOA Special English Development Report.

Australia wants to show that existing _____stations can be refitted to burn coal in a much
cleaner way. A demonstration project will seek to develop new technology over the next four
years that makes it easier to capture carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the main gas that many
scientists say helps cause____ warming.

n traditional coal-fired power stations, the coal is burned in air in a big furnace and the carbon
dioxide is released into the atmosphere. In the new system, the coal is burned in pure oxygen
instead of . The captured carbon dioxide gas is then made into a liquid and buried deep
underground. The process is called geo-sequestration. The operators of the project in the
northern state of Queensland say it is the first of its kind in the . Australian and Japanese
companies are supporting the project, and the Australian government is paying for part of it.

Geoff Wilson is the mines and energy minister in Queensland. He says the new system will
sharply the amount of carbon released from the coal-fired process and make it easier
to store.

The International Energy Agency has said that clean coal technology could help reduce the
release of greenhouse by one-fourth. But a spokeswoman for the environmental
group Friends of the Earth says the technology has very limited promise to cut emissions in the
short term.

Critics say the technology is unproven. And they say it will not guarantee that Australia will be
able to reduce emissions in the . Australia releases more greenhouse gases
per person than almost any other country in the world. Its emissions come mainly from coal
burned for electricity.
On November fifteenth, thousands of Australians in Sydney, Melbourne and other ----------
joined a yearly protest called "Walk Against Warming." They called for renewable energy.

Scientists warn that the Australian continent could suffer more severe periods,
floods and storms as a result of climate change.

For years the government refused to the Kyoto treaty limiting greenhouse gas
emissions. But Prime Minister Kevin Rudd signed the protocol as his first act in office following
his election last year. He has made action on climate change an important part of his
environment . ----------
