The study of coal for the production of energy is certainly not a
new area of research. Many research works were carried out to
improve the efficiency of industrial and domestic facilities. In
the sixties, however, because of the availability and low cost of
petroleum, coal consumption decreased and the research effort in
this area was minimum. Meanwhile, the situation has totally
changed. Considering the reserves of oil and the instability
ofregions where they are located, it is becoming absolutely
necessary to develop other sources of energy.The major alternative
to oil appears to be coal, at least for the near future. Indeed,
the reserves known today represent several centuries of energy
consumption. t is therefore becoming urgent to develop efficient
and non polluting technologies to produce energy from coal. The
main possibilities are: . liquefaction . gasification . directed
combustion. Research and development efforts on liquefaction have
been considerably reduced because of high cost of technologies
involved and poor prospects for the next two decades. Research
works on gasification are progressing; it is a promising approach.
However, direct combustion either in pulverized coal furnaces or in
fluidized beds is the more promising way of expanding rapidly the
utilization of coal. These techniques are already used in some
facilities but many environmental problems remain, slowing down
their development."
