In May 2022, the last cooling tower of the coal-fired power plant in the Spanish region of Andorra in Teruel province was demolished. After forty years in operation such an event had a huge emotional effect on the local population, since much of the local identity and tradition was built ...
Since coal-fired power plants represent a significant fraction of the anthropogenic emissions of mercury into the atmosphere, the speciation of mercury in coal-fired power plant flue gas is currently an active topic of research. We have demonstrated that the assumption of gas-phase equilibrium for ...
A rapid transition away from unabated coal use is essential to fulfilling the Paris climate goals. However, many countries are actively building and operating coal power plants. Here we use plant-level data to specify alternative trajectories for coal te
To keep global warming within 1.5 °C of pre-industrial levels, there needs to be a substantial decline in the use of coal power by 20301,2 and in most scenarios, complete cessation by 20501,3. The members of the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA), launched in 2017 at the UNFCCC Co...

Throughout the world, coal is responsible for generating approximately 38% of power. Coal ash, a waste product, generated from the combustion of coal, consists of fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, and flue gas desulfurization material. Fly ash, which is
We examine the politics of environmental knowledge as a possible way to collect independent pollution measurements, but also as a focal point for community mobilization for people living in the vicinity of coal mines, coal-fired thermal power plants, and the waste generated from these activities. ...
Two kinds of multi-objective decision method in Fuzzy Mathematics were introduced.The four schemes of blended coal compounded by two kinds of coals fired in Shajiao C Power Plant were taken as examples to illustrate the application of this method in evaluating boiler blended coal schemes that may...
It is apparent that the effects of coal blending on power plant performance are imperfectly understood. Research into blending coals is urgently needed by the utilities and producers, and is divided into the following areas: handling and storage, grinding, ignition and flame stability, carbon ...
Cleanliness of Japanese coal Asides CO2, there is no coal-fired power plant that inflicts health damage on the public. Furthermore, new technological progress is being made and so, for example, there is no risk of health damage like in China where people develop respiratory illnesses. Governmen...
