The project had its funding revoked last year by the Bush administration, which at the time cited "restructuring" as the cause. Chu, according to one congressional aide, listened intently during the meeting but made no promises about restoring the project, which is arguably the world's most ambitious 'clean coal' effort, at least in conception." 01-09 -04-18-08 Carbon Reduction in Coal (Time.com) "Coal plants usually have a 50-year operational life, which means that fossil fuels will be with us for a long time. Unless we can figure out a way to take carbon out of coal — the way we've managed to clean other pollutants, like acid rain-causing sulfur dioxide, using scrubbers —we'll never beat climate change. Ergo Exergy wants to mitigate the damage. The company's underground coal gasification technology burns coal into gas directly in its underground seams, which saves the environmental cost of mining." 04-08 -05-10-10 Which Pollutes More: Vehicles or Coal-Fired Power Plants?

Gladstone Centre for Clean Coal Welcome About GC3 GC3 Sponsors Background Stories ... login Welcome Gladstone Centre for Clean Coal Sponsored By The goal of GC3 is to provide the community information on the progress of coal utilisation. As coal is an extremely important component of the world's energy mix and will continue to be for future generations, it is essential that coal utilisation processes continue to develop to ensure its role in a sustainable future. The focus of information will be on local (CQ region) development and initiatives relevant to coal and its uses. The large stake that the CQ region has in the continued use and expansion of coal technology cannot be understated. Newsletter A quarter-yearly newsletter will be produced by the centre that will contain industry leaders opinions on coal and its associated technologies and supporting local, national and world initiatives. Your feedback is encouraged and should you wish to contribute please contact the centre. Announcements The Gladstone Centre for Clean Coal opened its doors and began operating in 2002. I took over the reins of Chair in the following year. During this period we have seen interest in the impact of the use of coal on the environment grow steadily and in recent years explode into the global phenomenon that it is today. GC3 has enjoyed good sponsorship along the way and I thank all these benefactors for their generosity. Since the Global Financial Crisis, hit sponsorship has declined to a point where we can no longer continue so we must now leave this work to other organisations to carry on. It is with considerable melancholy that we now wind up operations and close our doors. Thank you for your support over the last 8 years.

Wave Energy Energy Conservation: Energy Efficiency Fossil Fuels - Coal Coal is a fossil fuel formed from the remains of plants and a nimals of prehistoric times having undergone tremendous decomposition and compaction. It is a sedimentary rock formation which is black or brownish black in color. It is a highly combustible rock and it has been used for centuries to provide heat in power generating. Coal is probably use to power close to 60-70% of the historical and current World Power plants. Coal is buried far deep in the ground and requires a lot of effort to mine it from the ground. It is also very dangerous to mine because it is always underground and requires horizontal or vertical drilling or digging of holes through the ground to reach where coal is. Many miners have been said to have contacted various disorders for exposure to dusts form coal mines. Besides the difficulty in mining, coal produces pollutants that have potentially negative impacts on humans and on the environment. Burning coal in power plants generate Mercury, SO2, and CO2 emissions. Mercury is toxic to humans and animals, SO2 leads to acid rain and CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases that trap heat in our atmosphere leading to rising World temperatures to

A fossil-fuel power station is a power station that burns fossil fuels such as coal natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity . Central station fossil-fuel power plants are designed on a large scale for continuous operation. In many countries, such plants provide most of the electrical energy used. Fossil fuel power stations (except for MHD generators ) have some kind of rotating machinery to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy , which then operate an electrical generator . The prime mover may be a steam turbine , a gas turbine or, in small isolated plants, a reciprocating internal combustion engine. All plants use the drop between the high pressure and temperature of the steam or combusting fuel and the lower pressure of the atmosphere or condensing vapour in the steam turbine Byproducts of power thermal plant operation need to be considered in both the design and operation.

skip to main skip to sidebar Coal, Petroleum and other form of fuels for energy conversion Matters on fuels such as Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gas Nuclear Fuels etc., their usages and related aspects of energy are discussed. Loading... Tuesday, February 19, 2008 Formation of Fossil Fuels (Coal, Petroleum): Formation of Fossil Fuels (Coal, Petroleum): Chemically, all fossil fuels consist largely of hydrocarbons, which are compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon. The various stages of coal formation are: (a) Peat - partially carbonized plant matter, (b) Lignite - soft brownish-black coal with low carbon content, (c) Sub-bituminous coal - soft coal with intermediate carbon content, (d) Bituminous coal - soft coal with higher carbon and lower moisture content than sub-bituminous coal, (e) Anthracite coal - hard coal with highest carbon content and lowest moisture content. Methane (CH4) gas, which is a hydrocarbon compound, is also entrapped in most of the coal seams; is now finding importance in recovery from coal seam due to recent energy crisis. The petroleum and gas deposits are particularly prevalent in coastal zones. Largely, our cars and vehicles are powered by diesel, gasoline and natural gas.

Fossil Fuel Fossil Fuel Resources Home Coal Coal and the Environment How Coal Is Formed ... SHOP Coal Facts By admin Category: Coal Coal is a combustible mineral formed from the remains of trees, ferns and other decayed plants that existed and died up to 400 million years ago in some cases. Coal is the world’s most abundant fossil fuel, more commonly found than natural gas and oil and it is second only to oil as the most common source of energy production that is used today in the Western world. Coal is used widely because it can be obtained relatively easily and it has a high-energy content. Coal can be used for a number of important reasons but primarily it is used in the large-scale production of energy and in the manufacturing industry. Coal provides over 23% of the world’s energy needs and it generates approximately 39% of the world’s electricity. Almost 70% of total global steel production is also dependent on burning coal. The main types of coal are anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite. International trade in coal has expanded faster over the last decade than trade in any other commodity.
