This Chapter addresses the technology used in coal-combustion systems, focusing principally on systems used for electric-power generation since this accounts for a greater proportion of coal utilisation than any other individual end use. The Chapter builds on the concepts introduced in the Chapter on the Fundamentals of coal combustion, reviewing the combustion technologies that are currently in most common use. Advanced coal-combustion systems that can be implemented as a means of increasing efficiencies are covered in the Chapter on Coal-combustion technology for a competitive power market, while the technologies used for burning coal in conjunction with fuels such as natural gas, bio-fuels and petroleum coke are handled in the Chapter on Cofiring coal with other fuels.
