Coal Utilization Power Engineering and Powder Technology for the Stable Power Supply in Low-Carbon Society

Abstract

Coal is expected stable supply for the future because minable reserves of coal are more abundant than that of other fossil fuel. But, coal utilization has the problem that emission amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) becomes large. As the effective method of coal utilization for power generation, high efficiency power generation system, CO₂ capture and storage system and utilization system of biomass in coal fired power plant are investigated. In this paper, the role of powder technology for the development of these power generation systems is introduced. Furthermore, the subject of powder technology for the development of coal fired power plant which has high turn-down ability to support the problem of natural energy including solar power and wind power etc. is explained.
