Coal-Fired Power Generation Handbook
Ebook (EPUB Format)
Now revised and expanded, this is the most complete and up-to-date handbook on power generation from coal, covering all of today's new, cleaner methods for creating electricity from coal, the environmental challenges and concerns involved in its production, and developing technologies.Coal accounts for approximately one-quarter of world energy consumption. Of the coal produced worldwide approximately 65% is shipped to electricity producers and 33% to industrial consumers, with most of the remainder going to consumers in the residential and commercial sectors. The total share of total world energy consumption by coal is expected to increase to…

Now revised and expanded, this is the most complete and up-to-date handbook on power generation from coal, covering all of today's new, cleaner methods for creating electricity from coal, the environmental challenges and concerns involved in its production, and developing technologies.Coal accounts for approximately one-quarter of world energy consumption. Of the coal produced worldwide approximately 65% is shipped to electricity producers and 33% to industrial consumers, with most of the remainder going to consumers in the residential and commercial sectors. The total share of total world energy consumption by coal is expected to increase to almost 30% in 2035.This book describes the challenges and steps by which electricity is produced from coal and deals with the challenges for removing the environmental objections to the use of coal in future power plants. New technologies are described that could virtually eliminate the sulfur, nitrogen, and mercury pollutants that are released when coal is burned for electricity generation. In addition, technologies for the capture of greenhouse gases emitted from coal-fired power plants are described and the means of preventing such emissions from contributing to global warming concerns.Written by one of the world's leading energy experts, this volume is a must-have for any engineer, scientist, or student working in this field, providing a valuable reference and guide in a quickly changing field.Coal-Fired Power Generation Handbook:Details the manner in which coal properties can influence electricity productionDescribes the relevant clean coal technologies in an understandable mannerPresents a realistic overview of the future of electricity generation from coalDocuments the role of coal in energy security scenariosAudience:Any engineer, manager, or technician working in the coal industry
