Coal power endangers climate targets: Calls for urgent action [PDF]
, 2014 Coal-fired power stations are responsible for around a third of Germany's carbon emissions. Failure to reduce the persistently high level of coal-fired power generation threatens Germany's climate targets for 2020 and 2050 and undermines a sustainable ...

Energy and Economic Assessment of Oxy-Fuel Combustion CO2 Capture in Coal-Fired Power Plants
EnergiesOxy-fuel combustion technology replaces air with a mixture of pure O2 and recycled flue gas for coal combustion, which leads to difficulties in the waste heat recovery of flue gas in the boiler tail of coal-fired power plants.
