METI is working on an approach that includes:
- Decommissioning electric power companies' sub-critical and super-critical coal-fired units, replacing them with ultra-super-critical coal and integrated coal gasification, combined-cycle (IGCC) units.
- Reducing the amount of coal used by power units by mixing in ammonia.
