The main reasons for US utility interest in coal gasification systems are: 1. uncertainties about future prices, providing incentives to retrofit and repower existing oil- and gas-fired generating capacity [over 100,000 megawatts electric (MWe)] 2. economic and environmental incentives to install new, clean gasification

While coal is the least expensive fuel for power generation, it is also the most carbon-intensive fuel source. In an increasingly carbon-constrained world, we're working to develop new technologies to reduce the amount of CO 2 released from coal-fired power plants. Traditional carbon reduction technologies require extensive equipment modifications that are often cost-prohibitive.

Mapped: The world's coal power plants Since 2000, the world has doubled its coal-fired power capacity to around 2,045 gigawatts (GW) after explosive growth in China and India. A further 200GW is being built and 300GW is planned. More recently, 268GW has closed due to a wave of retirements across the EU and US.

Coal-fired electricity generation is far cleaner today than ever before. The popular misconception that our air quality is getting worse is wrong, as shown by EPA's air quality data. Modern coal plants, and those retrofitted with modern technologies to reduce pollution, are a success story and are currently providing about 50% of our electricity.

Coal gasification is said to have greater efficiency than conventional coal-burning because it can effectively use the gases twice: the coal gases are first cleansed of impurities and fired in a turbine to generate electricity. Then, the exhaust heat from the gas turbine can be captured and used to generate steam for a steam turbine-generator.
