- Latest Technical Approach on Coal-Fired Power Plant

Abstract

IHI Corporation (IHI), as a supplier of power plant equipment including boiler, is facing to CO₂ emission issue by various technical approaches. Latest status of advanced technologies, which is Advanced Ultra Super Critical Boiler (A-USC) — Improvement in Efficiency, Oxy-fuel Combustion Technology — CO₂ Capture and Use of Biomass Fuel — Renewable Energy, is introduced in this paper. Finally, these advanced technologies certainly contribute to reduce CO₂ emission economically.
