Technology Lifecycle

Clean coal technologies include improved combustion efficiency and reduced emissions in conventional sub-critical, new super-critical and new ultra super-critical power plants; integrated coal gasification combined cycle and pressurized fluidized bed combustion; integrated coal gasification fuel cells; new approaches to carbon capture and storage; and the production of hydrogen from coal, which will play a large part in the transition to a hydrogen-based future. The ultimate goal is near complete elimination of emissions. There are two clean coal technology pathways or technology routes for coal preparation and utilization for electricity generation. The two primary pathways include combustion and gasification. As with the technology lifecycle illustration below, the White Coal Technology process facilitates these pathways, focusing on Upstream Coal Cleaning—or coal cleaning as a front-end option that would reduce emissions by enhancing the combustion process vs. an end of pipe issue.

As the coal technology lifecycle evolves and coal becomes increasingly cleaner, the White Coal Technology will facilitate efficiency improvements, advanced technologies and the drive to zero emissions.
