Carbon capture from pulverized coal power plant (PCPP): Solvent performance comparison at an industrial scale [PDF]

, 2015
Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel on the planet. However, power generation from coal results in large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Solvent-based carbon capture is a relatively mature technology which can potentially mitigate these emissions ...

Coal-fired power plant and aquatic ecosystems

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Coal industry remains one of the top electric energy sources in the world. Due to the substantial water demand, thermal power plants are built on the coasts of water bodies and rivers, which causes anthropogenic pressure on surface water.
