Thermal Power Projects: Past, Present and Future | Original Article
ABSTRACT
The commercial electric power generation started from coal based thermal and hydro in the 1880s. Today, not only the coal fired but diesel and gas based power generation technologies are well proven. However, emission of polluting green house gases emitted due to the burning of fossil fuels has become a matter of serious concern. This challenge is well accepted by the researchers which haveresulted in the development of green power generation technologies. These technologiesburn the fossil fuels more efficiently with lower emissions. This paper will discuss conventional as well as green power generation from coal in addition to the carbon capture technologies.
