Description
Worldwide concern over greenhouse emissions and their impact on global warming has prompted a wide-reaching search for cleaner methods of power generation from fossil fuels. A number of key technologies with near-zero to zero GHG footprints are being considered by the power generation industry. This book provides an overview of advanced technology options for power generation from coal with integrated carbon capture and sequestration capabilities. These are commonly referred to as advanced clean coal technologies. Readers will gain a fundamental appreciation of fuel technology, power generation, and environmental as well as economic implications. This is the only reference source that provides a consolidated picture of these technologies in a consistent manner.

Professor Behdad Moghtaderi has over 17 years of experience in teaching and research activities in the general field of energy and the environment. He has broad experience, knowledge and achievements in this field, particularly in application areas, such as renewable energy resources (e.g. biomass combustion/gasification, and geothermal power cycles), clean coal technologies, hydrogen powered micro-energy systems, and energy efficiency in buildings and process industries. His research experience spans both the experimental, involving a wide range of laser-diagnostic and conventional techniques, to modelling using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). He has worked with both reacting and non-reacting flows, spanning gaseous and particle-laden flow from laboratory to pilot-scale experimental facilities and full-scale plants. Professor Wall has a high international standing for leadership and personal contributions in R&D on coal combustion which enhanced power station performance and environmental control in Australia and overseas, and provided major support to the Australian coal export industry.
