The high contribution of coal in carbon dioxide emissions is forcing various governments to take the necessary control measures . Authorities in New South Wales have embarked on an ambitious plan of championing for use of Clean Coal Technology in reducing CO2 emissions in the region Though the decision was made by one party , various stakeholders in the industry would be affected significantly . These stakeholders include governments authorities tasked with the responsibility of securing healthy

environment power plants employees , suppliers and shareholders who derive survival earnings from therein local community that derives business from power plants ' presence but need cleaner environment and electricity customers scattered throughout the country . Seeing that interests of these stakeholders are considered would involve help in overseeing cooperating over global warming issue , which is already affecting the way human kind lives . All the stakeholders have one goal in common - to reduce carbon dioxide emissions with little effect in livelihoods .
