In part. The original intent during the time the term came about was to capture carbon but that never happened. Environmentalists were against it because they wanted coal itself stopped so instead of having byproducts in solid or other form we still have it in the air. But fortunately the environmentalists have not blocked the cleaning up of other bad gases. And oddly enough they were very quickly bought off when we discovered that VW had been pumping tons of that stuff into the air for decades but hid it from regulators.
Yes and no. It can also refer to the grade of coal. Clean coal having few contaminants in the fuel itself. But the most often used terminology is indeed in the systems and filters that clean the fumes created by burning coal.
