Coal

Coal is a black or brownish-black sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel and used to generate electricity.It is composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons, which contain energy that can be released through combustion (burning). Coal is the largest source of energy for generating electricity in the world, and the most abundant fossil fuel …

Coal-Fired Power M&O: Enhancing Wet-Limestone Scrubber Efficiency

While many coal-fired power plants in the United States have ceased operation in the last decade, a large number remain in operation. In other parts of the world, coal-fired power continues to represent a major share of electricity production. Control of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from these plants is essential for protection of air quality.
