| Efficiency upgrades for existing coal-fired power plants |
| |
|
| Coal properties that influence efficiency include |
- Amount of ash in the coal
- The moisture content of the coal
- The reactivity of the coal
|
| Coal upgrading aims to improve quality and consistency, and reduce moisture content. |

| Implementing clean coal projects under
Kyoto |
| |
|
This report discusses the use of Joint
Implementation and the Clean
Development Mechanism to co-finance
clean coal technologies (CCT) in
economies in transition and developing
countries. CCTs allow continued use of
coal for electricity production while
strongly reducing environmental
impacts. |

| IPCC Special Report Capture of CO2 |
| |
|
| The purpose of CO2 capture is to produce a concentrated stream
that can be readily transported to a CO2 storage site. CO2 capture
and storage is most applicable to large, centralized sources
like power plants and large industries. |

| Oxyfuel combustion of pulverised coal |
| |
|
Oxyfuel combustion is one of the
leading options for power generation
with CO2 capture. It can be simply
described as a process that eliminates
nitrogen from the oxidant or comburent
by burning the fuel in either nearly pure
oxygen or a mixture of nearly pure
oxygen and a CO2 rich recycled flue
gas (RFG) resulting in a product flue
gas from the boiler containing mainly
carbon dioxide and water vapour. |

| Potential for economic
greenhouse reduction in
coal-fired power generation |
| |
|
| Data on the Clean Coal Compendium
indicate that there is probably around
100 GWe capacity of coal-fired plant
still in operation after 40 years and
approaching 500 GWe of plant over
20 years old. These are mainly in North
America and Europe, including the
Russian Federation. |

| Prospects for coal, CCTs and CCS
in the European Union |
| |
|
| The report is, in part, an update of
one produced in 2004 that examined the
impact on overall coal reserves,
production and consumption resulting
from enlargement of the EU. This was a
period when a number of new
Accession Countries (such as Poland,
the Czech Republic, and Hungary)
became full EU Member States,
bringing with them considerable
reserves of hard coal and/or lignite. |

| Prospects for coal with other
fuels to reduce GHG emissions |
| |
|
| Energy reserves, price and security of
supply issues are discussed within the
context of the prospects for coal and
policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. Coal is the most abundant of
all fossil fuels by a considerable margin,
and its reserves are more widely
distributed than reserves of other fuels. |

|
| The oil supply crises of the 1970s triggered major development programmes within Europe, the USA and
Japan to establish technologies for the production of synthetic oil products from coal while South Africa,
which already had an extensive coal to liquids (CTL) capacity, increased its capabilities further. |

| Sustainable development in the
production and use of coal |
| |
|
| Heightened awareness of the global
pressures of population, poverty and environmental degradation has placed
sustainable development high on the
agenda of international policy makers.
In its simplest form, sustainable
development requires social and
economic development to be
undertaken in such a way that adverse
impacts on natural resources, society
and the environment are minimised. |

| The impact of emissions trading on
the coal industry |
| |
|
| This report summarises the current status of emissions trading and the implications for coal producers, traders and users. In
practical terms, emission trading should ensure that emission reduction takes place where the cost of the reduction is lowest and
is particularly suited to the emissions of greenhouse gases, which have the same effect wherever they are emitted. |

| Clear and well-defined legal and regulatory frameworks are essential to support large-scale commercial CCS deployment. While comprehensive frameworks do not currently exist, there are a number of issues and developments at the state, regional and national levels that will contribute to an enabling environment for CCS deployment. |
