Report: Clean Coal - Building a Future through Technology - UK

The World Coal Institute, UK published Clean Coal - Building a Future through Technology in July 2004.

Clean Coal - Building a Future through Technology shows that technologies are available to improve the environmental performance of coal-fired power stations for countries at every stage of economic development. There is a road along which progress can be made, which includes:

• The enhanced take-up of existing options - including coal cleaning, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters, flue gas desulphurisation technology, and NOx reduction technologies, such as selective catalytic reduction and low NOx burners.
• Improving efficiency levels at coal-fired power stations.
• The deployment of advanced technologies. Fluidised bed combustion, supercritical and ultrasupercritical power plant technology and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC).
• Exploiting synergies with renewables.
• The development and commercialisation of next generation technologies, such as carbon capture and storage.
