Clean Coal: U.S. Emerging Technologies, R&D and Next Generation Equipment
Fuji-Keizai USA, Inc., Oct 2009, Pages: 219
Coal is expected to provide at least half of electricity in the US over the next 15 years, despite coal’s association with pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. And the US Energy Information Agency projections forecast an additional 87 gigawatts of new coal-fueled generation will be constructed by 2025. To meet this demand, the US government’s Clean Coal Power Initiative is providing government co-financing for new coal technologies that can help utilities cut sulfur, nitrogen and mercury pollutants from power plants.
Some early clean coal projects are demonstrating technologies to reduce greenhouse emissions by boosting the efficiency by which coal plants convert coal to electricity or other energy forms. Coal gasification electric power plants are now operating commercially in the United States and in other nations, and many experts predict that coal gasification will be at the heart of future generations of clean coal technology plants.
Among the opportunities that are emerging from clean coal research, development and commercialization, in August 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) announced that it will invest a total of $27.6 million in 19 projects to evaluate the potential risks of storing carbon dioxide (CO2) in geologic formations.
