Description
Clean Coal Technology: Efficient Power Generation With (pulverized coal) Combustion and Gasification
Summary
In spite of the growing number of anti-coal movements around the world, it is impossible to replace coal with any other alternative energy sources with present technology. The science of coal has still not been completely understood by the masses and it becomes a part of the political agenda in many nations. Coal reserves are still present in abundance and broadly distributed around various regions. Economically recoverable reserves of coal are available in more than 70 countries worldwide, and in each major world region. There has been a growing demand for primary energy in recent years but the world is also awakening to the ill effects of global warming. Therefore, significant interest is forming towards technologies involved in the reduction or eliminatoin of environmentally harmful emissions and at the same time providing greater efficiency.
An array of clean coal technologies have been, and continue to be, developed to address environmental concerns surrounding coal utilisation. Increasing the combustion efficiency of both conventional and advanced new power systems has taken precedence. Advanced technologies such as integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC), ultra-supercritical pulverised coal (USC PC), circulating fluidized-bed combustion (CFBC), and oxygen (rather than air) combustion for pulvarised coal (PC) and CFBC units are the prime drivers for this innovation. The application of innovative techniques such as carbon capture and sequestration will lead to a near zero emissions future for coal.
