MoreHow a Coal Plant Works. Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity. The steam is then cooled, condensed back into water and returned to the boiler to start the process over.

MoreCoal combustion causes several environmental issues. There have been numerous improvements for reducing harmful emissions to the atmosphere, such as setting up of flue gas scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators in conventional coal-fired power plants.Compared to combustion, gasification of coal can yield syngas (mainly H 2 and CO) with some other impurities.
MoreIntegrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a coal power generation technology that uses a high pressure gasifier to turn coal (or other carbon based fuels) into pressurized gas—synthesis gas (syngas). Converting the coal to gas enables the use of a combined cycle generator, typically achieving high efficiency. The IGCC process can also enable removal of some pollutants from the syngas prior to the power generation cycle. However, the technology is costly compared with conventional coal-fired powe
