Oxy fuel technology was proposed for conventional pulverised coal fired combustion already in the'80s; however, recent developments have led to a renewed interest in the technology, with the ultimate goal of significantly reducing CO2 EMISSIONS via capture.
An extensive database of oxy fuel and air combustion trials in gas-and coal fired testing facilities has been compiled.
when scaled up to the size of a large electrical power plant would rival costs for a new coal fired plant with similar electrical output.
The modest uptick in coal fired generation was substituting for pricier natural gas, not representative of a return to coal as it often mischaracterized.
it actually feels more exciting that coal fired systems no longer make financial sense. In fact, Genesis Energy Chief executive Albert Brantley estimated in a press release that the company will save around NZ$20 to 25 million (US$13 to 16.5 million) each year by not running the coal fired generators.
The two remaining coal-burning generators are located at Genesis Energy's Huntly Power station in Waikato on the country's North Island.
However, gas produced by many oil companies release about half the CO2 EMISSIONS of coal fired plants and lower levels of air pollution.
In 2006 the state passed a law mandating that it buy less coal fired energy. The Los angeles Department of Water and Power is now also selling its stake in the Navajo Generating station to invest in clean energy alternatives,
