Coal Prices held back for power producers in China
China requests that coal miners not raise prices Higher coal prices would increase price of inflation on all things in China, so the Govt. has asked that the Coal Companies keep prices from rising too much… The prices for coal set by annual supply contracts cannot be changed. All of the state run coal mine operators and coal industry leaders will work together coal prices steady. The ...

Utilization of fly ash in construction industries for environment management
Abstract Fly ash is naturally cementations coal combustion by-product. A fine glass powder recovered from the gases of burning coal during the production of electricity is fly ash. The combustion of powdered coal in thermal power plants produces fly ash. Disposal of high amount of fly ash from thermal power plants absorb huge amount of water, energy and land area by ash ponds. Generation of ...

Coal phase out case study: What Alberta can learn from Washington State
How Bruce Nilles and the Sierra Club cleaned up Washington state Renewable energy made up half of all the new power plantsconstructed in the world in 2014. That’s an incredible number made all the better when you think of what these plants are replacing. Big, bad coal. There are good reasons for this. Coal is not only the most carbon intensive form of energy available, but it has ...

Understanding fuel switching under the EU ETS
Since the creation of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS), European power producers have monitored carbon emissions resulting from the composition of their production. Fuel switching is the main short–term abatement measure under the EU ETS. It consists in substituting combined cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) for hard–coal plants in off–peak power generation. Thereby coal plants run ...

Wind & solar energy and nature conservation
Climate change and the degradation of ecosystems and biodiversity cannot be solved in isolation. Land and marine ecosystems play a crucial role in the climate system, capturing roughly half of carbon dioxide emissions generated by human activities (UNEP, 2009). Protecting biodiversity preserves ecosystem services that are important for regulating the climate and helping us to adapt to the impacts ...

5 Ways Minnesota Can Reduce its Power Plant Emissions
As the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) moves forward with standards to reduce emissions from existing power plants—which are due to be finalized in June 2015—many states are wondering how they will comply. WRI’s fact sheet series, Power Sector Opportunities for Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions, examines the policies and pathways various states can use to ...

Green coal, Quebec company poised to scale up biocoal technology
Near the St. Lawrence River, a stone’s throw away from the Gentilly nuclear power plant, the old LaPrade mill in Bécancour, Que., has come back to life. In one of the old concrete pools designed to produce heavy water, Airex Energy is testing its unique torrefaction process. Their goal: develop a large-scale biocoal technology made with forest biomass and agriculture waste. ...

New Report Shows Decline in Carbon Dioxide and Other Pollutants from U.S. Power Plants, but State and Power Company Emissions Vary Widely
Electric Power Industry is Transitioning to Lower-Carbon Sources and Positioned to Meet New EPA Carbon Standards A new report on U.S. power plant emissions from the country’s top 100 electric power producers shows a downward trend in nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxides (SO2), mercury and carbon dioxide (CO2) since 2000, with CO2emissions decreasing 13 percent between 2008 and 2012. The ...
