Co-firing Biomass with Coal

摘要

As nations focus on controlling carbon, global demand for and production of coal-based electricity continues to increase. According to the International Energy Agency, the world's power demands are expected to rise 60 percent by 2030 with fossil fuels, including coal, accounting for 85 percent of the energy market. Ultimately, building towards a sustainable generation future means balancing carbon objectives, energy demand and affordability. Biomass co-firing technology can provide a path to addressing climate change while mitigating costs to the world's coal-generation base and the customers served.
