Emerging Post Combustion Technologies for Coal Fired Thermal Power Plants
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
There have been technological advancements for reducing carbon emissions from coal based thermal power plants. The primary objective of the same is to ensure that the energy produced and consumed is sustainable and which does not affect the environment. There are primarily four main components of clean coal technology employed for power generation. As the primary fuel used for power generation is coal, the post coal combustion phase assumes significance in the way the carbon emissions are being captured and sequestered. This paper discusses the progress in the post combustion technologies used in coal fired thermal power plants. The paper also lays greater emphasis on the current status of the same in India.
