Vattenfall is one of the biggest energy company in Europe. The problem is that they produce coal-based energy which produces high amounts of CO2 that harm the environment and cause global warming. Now, thanks to a new project, Vattenfall will be able to produce coal-based energy without any CO2 emissions.
Seems pretty unbelievable but Lars Josefsson, [...]
