Abstract
Thermal power plants burning fossil fuel account for over 50% of the
electricity generated across the globe. Coal is the most popular fuel followed
by natural gas and the power stations burning these fuels are the principle
base load plants in many parts of the world. Unfortunately these power plants
are also a major source of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere,
emissions which are now generally considered responsible for global warming.
New, advanced coal-fired technologies are being developed that aim to have
zero-emission carbon emissions. These techniques may have potential both for
the construction of new coal-fired power stations with zero emissions and for
retrofitting to older existing power plants to convert them into zero emission
plants.
