IEA Clean Coal Centre

The IEA Clean Coal Centre is a collaborative project established in 1975 involving member countries of the International Energy Agency (IEA). It exists to support efforts to make the production, transportation, and use of coal sustainable. The Centre promotes a wider understanding of the key issues concerning coal, with special emphasis on clean coal technologies and security of supply.

The Centre provides this support by:

Providing a unique global resource that the members can reliably draw upon for credible and unbiased information and expertise on all aspects of the sustainable use of coal;
Delivering services to members through reports and reviews on important topics, advisory services to governments and industry and support for relevant R&D; and
By providing networking opportunities that foster international co-operation within and amongst developed and developing countries.

ETDE and the Clean Coal Centre have collaborated since ETDE's inception in 1987. Database records were exchanged between the two organizations from 1987 - 2011. The resulting databases, ETDE's Energy Database and the Clean Coal Centre's Coal Abstracts, both include worldwide coal coverage, the majority of coal coverage coming from the Clean Coal Centre. While ETDE's database covers all energy subject areas, the Clean Coal Centre offers concise coal-specific products such as CoalPower5 and a number of quality reports on special topics. Coal Abstracts ceased being updated in 2011.
