Advanced Clean Coal Technologies

Worldwide concern over greenhouse emissions and their impact on global warming has prompted a wide-reaching search for cleaner methods of power generation from fossil fuels.

A number of key technologies with near-zero to zero GHG footprints are being considered by the power generation industry.

This book provides an overview of advanced technology options for power generation from coal with integrated carbon capture and sequestration capabilities.

These are commonly referred to as advanced clean coal technologies.

Readers will gain a fundamental appreciation of fuel technology, power generation, and environmental as well as economic implications.

This is the only reference source that provides a consolidated picture of these technologies in a consistent manner.
