Coal-Powered Electricity Poised to Become Cleaner and More Efficient
Coal gasification for power generation in IGCC systems is becoming popular due to its environmental benefits and CO2 capture capabilities. Understanding coal properties is crucial for efficient plant design and operation. Different coal properties influence the type of gasifier, feeding system, coal preparation, oxidant amounts, and slag flow. Other solid feedstocks like biomass and petcoke are also used in IGCC plants.
