Coal consumption will increase World electricity generation by source in the New Policies Scenario Global coal demand grows by 15% to 2040, but almost two-thirds of the increase occurs over the next ten years (IEA World Energy Outlook 2014) 3
Coal-fired power plants will increase Forecasts on newly-built power plants (2014-2040) 1 880 (IEA World Energy Outlook 2014) 4
How can we decrease CO2 emission from coal? In order to decrease CO2 emission from coal-fired power plants, coal technologies can do: (1) Carbon Capture & Sequestration and Enhanced Oil Recovery (2) Higher efficiency on coal-fired generation technologies (3) Make sure the best technologies available TODAY are used TODAY 5
(1) Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technology development going-on: capture, transport, and sequestration Other challenges: limited locations for sequestration, long-term storage, environmental effect, and economic incentives EAGLE Pilot Plant Project 8MW, IGCC+CCS (2002-) Osaki Cool Gen Project 250 MW, IGCC+CCS (2019-), IGFC+CCS (2020-) CO 2 separation facilities Gas purifier Air separation facilities Gasifier (150 tons/day) Syngas Treatment Coal Gasification Physical adsorption Chemical adsorption Gas turbine house (8 MW) Subsidized 6 by METI
(1) Carbon Capture and Sequestration Electricity generation costs in ASEAN under different fuel price assumptions (+CCS) CCS costs Capture: $30/MWh Transport & Storage:???/MWh O&M chart: IEA Southeast Asia Energy Outlook, 2013 Additional CCS costs: Feasibility study by NEDO 7

(3) Use what is available today Around half of the coal-fired stations being built today around the world use less efficient subcritical technology. Around one-third of the new plant capacity being brought online at present in China is subcritical. In India, most new plants being built today are still subcritical.
