Abstract
Coal accounts for 40% of global electricity supply and the proportion is set
to remain steady, even as global generating capacity rises. Coal-fired
generating capacity may double by 2030, which would have a severe effect on
carbon dioxide emissions unless new, cleaner technologies can be implemented.
‘The Future of Clean Coal: The impact of new technologies and
legislation on the economics of coal-fired power generation’ is a new
management report published by Business Insights that analyses the state of
modern coal-fired power generation. It analyses the technologies, efficiency
and economics of conventional coal-fired power generation, emission control
systems and advanced/zero emission systems. It analyses the key drivers of the
new technologies and forecasts the impact of clean coal technologies on the
cost of power compared to both conventional coal-fired power generation and
renewable energy. Assess how new technologies will affect coal-fired power
generation in the short, medium and long term with this new report.
