Unfortunately, not in the USA. I understand China is trying this.
Adding Karrick pre-processing to a coal-powered electrical power plant would increase the plant’s CO2 emissions by about 10% to 15%. To many so-called Greens, this would be a crime against humanity.
The GW cultists are trying to kill every coal plant under construction in the US. So far they are pretty successful. This is the major risk in building these add-ons. You can invest $500 million, get 70% of the construction complete, and then environmental lawsuits can shut you down. Industry is also afraid that the new administration in 2009 will enact carbon taxes or CO2 caps.
China is deploying about two coal powerplants per week.
