Concern over the effects of airborne pollution, green house gases,
and the impact of global warming has become a worldwide issue that
transcends international boundaries, politics, and social
responsibility. The 2nd Edition of Coal Energy Systems: Clean Coal
Technology describes a new generation of energy processes that
sharply reduce air emissions and other pollutants from coal-burning
power plants. Coal is the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. When
burned, it produces emissions that contribute to global warming,
create acid rain, and pollute water. With all of the interest and
research surrounding nuclear energy, hydropower, and biofuels, many
think that coal is finally on its way out. However, coal generates
half of the electricity in the United States and throughout the
world today. It will likely continue to do so as long as it's cheap
and plentiful [Source: Energy Information Administration]. Coal
provides stability in price and availability, will continue to be a
major source of electricity generation, will be the major source of
hydrogen for the coming hydrogen economy, and has the potential to
become an important source of liquid fuels. Conservation and
renewable/sustainable energy are important in the overall energy
picture, but will play a lesser role in helping us satisfy our
energy demands today. Dramatically updated to meet the needs of an
ever changing energy market, Coal Energy Systems, 2nd Edition is a
single source covering policy and the engineering involved in
implementing that policy. The book addresses many coal-related
subjects of interest ranging from the chemistry of coal and the
future engineering anatomy of a coal fired plant to the cutting
edge clean coal technologies being researched and utilized today. A
50% update over the first edition, this new book contains new
chapters on processes such as CO2 capture and sequestration,
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) systems,
Pulverized-Coal Power Plants and Carbon Emission Trading. Existing
materials on worldwide coal distribution and quantities, technical
and policy issues regarding the use of coal, technologies used and
under development for utilizing coal to produce heat, electricity,
and chemicals with low environmental impact, vision for utilizing
coal well into the 21st century, and the security coal presents.
