Coal use today is responsible for large, and mostly avoidable,
damages to human health and our water and land. Coal use in the
future, along with other fossil fuels, threatens to wreak havoc in
the earth's climate system. This book looks at "clean coal"
technologies such as coal gasification and carbon capture. Coal
gasification, when done in conjunction with carbon capture and
storage (CCS) is one technology option that offers our nation an
attractive approach to utilise our indigenous fossil energy
resources in a more efficient and environmentally sound manner for
producing clean, affordable power from coal with dramatically
reduced carbon emissions. Coal gasification with CCS can also
reduce the carbon impact of using coal to produce ultra-clean fuels
for the transportation sector, substitute natural gas (SNG) to heat
our homes and fuel our industrial sector, fertilisers to ensure an
abundant food supply, and chemicals that play an integral part in
our every day lives. Another coal gasification concept explored in
this book that could further reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emission
is co-feeding coal and biomass into gasifiers to produce
electricity or conventional transportation fuels. In addition to
these technologies, this book also describes ways at improving or
optimising the performance of coal-fired power plants, in addition
to tools that can be used and are available to cut global warming
emissions. This book consists of public domain documents which have
been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a
subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.
