Burning coal cleanly need not mean turning to totally new technology. This study shows that modern Pulverised Fuel plants can be both clean and efficient, and is likely to be the technology chosen by utilities throughout the world for the next generation of coal-fired power plants. The study, by the IEA's Coal Industry Advisory Board , reviews the future prospects for coal-based power generation, the current and likely future development of Pulverised Fuel-firing and Atmospheric Fluidised Bed Combustion units, and the future of steam cycle technologies, based on an industry survey. Unlike other advanced clean coal technologies, these technologies use a steam cycle (but no gas turbine) to convert heat into power. This is the second of a proposed series of three publications. The first, Industry Attitudes to Combined Cycle Clean Coal Technologies - Survey of Current Status, covered the current status of coal-based generation using combined cycle technologies (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle and Pressurised Fluidised Bed Combustion). The third study in the series will bring together the results and identify the way forward for advanced clean coal technologies |
