Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Coal-fired Power Generation Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The increase in carbon emissions from coal-based power plants has prompted governments to shift their focus to clean coal technologies such as supercritical and ultra-supercritical technologies, CCS, and IGCC to reduce carbon emissions. Supercritical and ultra-supercritical technologies are the only two technologies that have been widely deployed by different countries for the construction of pulverized coal combustion plants.
IGCC and CCS are new and technically viable technologies that have still not gained popularity worldwide because of their higher capital and operational costs. It is expected that with the technological advancements, these technologies will become more cost competitive and commercially available.
