Coal-fired power generation will continue to be the leader through 2020
Driven by the expansion of coal-fired power generation in China and India, coal will continue to be the first choice for new power generation. Between 2009 and 2020, 800 GW of coal-fired capacity will be added compared to less than 500 GW for gas-fired and 55 GW for nuclear. This is the latest forecast in Fossil & Nuclear Power Generation: World Analysis & Forecast published by the McIlvaine ...

Coal-fired Power Generators have lots of “Clean” opportunities
In many Asian localities coal will be the only near term solution to create electricity, prosperity and health. In Japan, the U.S. and Europe coal will continue to provide much of the electricity for decades to come. Coal can be greener than any other form of generation. An example would be a system which uses 70% coal and 30% biomass and is producing CO2 which is injected to enhance oil ...

Frost & Sullivan: Opportunities in Emerging Economies to Offset Declining Prospects for Coal-Fired Power across Mature Geographies
Over the next 25 years, the world will become significantly more dependent on electricity produced from various sources, including coal, to meet its energy needs. Global electricity generation is expected to grow from 21,224 Terawatt hours (TWh) in 2010 to 33,370 TWh in 2030. Coal will continue to hold an increasing share in the energy mix of emerging countries since it is one of the most ...

What Actually Is Fly Ash?
Worldwide, fly ash is produced in hard coal-fired power plants during the generation of electricity by burning hard coal. Dry fly ash is a cementitious material and is often used as a binder in the concrete industry. In the production of concrete and cement, fly ash offers material advantages as well as a reduction in the amount of CO2. ...

Defying Expectations of a Rise, Global Carbon Dioxide Emissions Flatlined in 2019
Despite widespread expectations of another increase, global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions stopped growing in 2019, according to IEA data released today (2/11). After two years of growth, global emissions were unchanged at 33 gigatons in 2019 even as the world economy expanded by 2.9%. This was primarily due to declining emissions from electricity generation in advanced economies, thanks ...

Utilizing the Excess Coal-fired Boiler Talent in the U.S.
The U.S. is not building new coal-fired power plants and will be shutting down nearly 70,000 MW of existing power plants. There is uncertainty regarding the remaining 190,000 MW depending on clean power regulations. The result of this shrinkage is a large excess of coal-fired boiler talent in the country. Two options for beneficial use are to channel this talent into: Other types of power ...

Turkish Parliament will vote about polluting coal power plants next week
The Turkish government has already vowed to increase its coal-fired power generation and yet another bid that will be discussed in the Turkish Parliament next week is one of the greatest threat to the environment and the public health. In 2013, various environmental exemptions were awarded to the privatised coal power plants as a subsidy, with a deadline of 2019. During this period, most of the ...

Rapid Changes in the DeNOx Market
The market to reduce NOx from stationary and mobile sources is changing rapidly due to two factors: regulations and innovations. More stringent regulations in one country have a cascade effect resulting in increased stringency in many countries. Innovations in one industry eventually lead to incorporation in other industries but the pace at which this occurs is too slow. It is, therefore, ...
