L'une des répercussions finales des techniques de RAG [récupération améliorée de gaz] pour le méthane des gisements de charbon est la possibilité de mettre sur pied des centrales électriques à émissions nulles, qui ne rejetteraient que de faibles volumes de CO2 pour l'ensemble de leur cycle de vie. [...] Avec ce système «en circuit fermé», on pourrait avoir, en théorie, une centrale thermique sans danger pour l'environnement parce que, pendant son cycle de production d'énergie, ses rejets de CO2 dans l'atmosphère seraient nuls. 1, record 3, French, - centrale%20%C3%A9lectrique%20%C3%A0%20%C3%A9missions%20nulles
