Clean Coal Technologies are an essential tool to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions of coal due to an expected increasing demand for energy, particularly in emerging economies, and large deposits of this fossil fuel in many countries. In this project, determinants of innovation in these technologies will be examined on the basis of patent data. Furthermore, potential knowledge diffusion in this class of technologies is intended to be analysed.
