4. INTRODUCTION
Green coal technology is a collection of technologies being developed
to attempt to help lessen the environmental impact of coal energy
generation.
Green coal technology usually addresses atmospheric problems
resulting from burning coal.
Green coal technology helps to mitigate worldwide climate change.
5. GREEN COAL TECHNOLOGIES
GREEN Coal Technologies are
defined as ‘technologies designed to
enhance:
Efficiency of conversion
Environmental acceptability of coal
extraction, preparation and use.

CLEAN COAL
TECHNOLOGIES
10. GREEN COAL TECHNOLOGIES
• Mining Management & Practices
(Reduction of Extraneous
material)
• Coal Preparation Process after mining to improve
inherent & Extraneous material
(washing & beneficiation)
• Conversion Technologies IGCC and PFBC
• Post combustion cleaning Particulate and gaseous
pollutants removal
(Environmental requirement)
11. IGCC TECHNOLOGY ...
• Gasification of coal is the cleanest way of utilization of coal.
• With the help of this technology, power generation offers the
benefits of very low emissions and efficiencies of the order of
44-48%.
• The comparative indices show that in case of IGCC, emission of
particulate, NOx and SOx are:
7.1%, 20% and 16%, respectively, of the
corresponding emissions from PC plant.
12. IGCC ...
• Three major areas of technology that will contribute to
improvements in IGCC are :
hot gas de-sulfurisation
hot gas particulate removal
advanced turbine systems
14. DEVELOPMENTAL GOALS FOR IGCC
• To utilize India’s low grade coal for power generation with
improved plant efficiency.
• To introduce coal gas in Natural Gas based Combined
Cycle Plants in a phased manner.
• To increase power generation capacity at the level of
present emission.
• To develop state of Art Technology for Indigenous and
Export Markets.
15. IGCC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN INDIA
MAJOR MILE STONES:
• Choice of gasification for high ash coals by BHEL
• 6.2 MW IGCC demonstration plant established by BHEL both with
Moving Bed and Fluidized Bed.
• Coal Characterization by BHEL & IICT for gasification application.
• Intensive data generated by IICT on oxygen-steam gasification in their
Moving Bed gasifier.
• Task force CEA, CSIR, NTPC & BHEL constituted to assess
technological maturity & Financial requirement for a green field IGCC
plant of 100 MW capacity at Dadri (NTPC).
• BHEL, CSIR & NTPC prepared proposal for setting up of this 100 MW
IGCC demonstration plant.
16. • Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC)
technology has selectively been applied in India
for firing high sulphur refinery residues, lignite,
etc.
CFBC Technology is superior to PC Power Plant
Technology:
• Lower NOx formation and the ability to capture
SO2 with limestone injection the furnace.

18. • Good combustion efficiencies comparable to PC Power
Plants.
• The heat transfer coefficient of the CFB furnace is
nearly double that of PC which makes the furnace
compact.
• Fuel Flexibility: The CFB can handle a wide range of
fuels such as inferior coal, washery rejects, lignite,
anthracite, petroleum coke and agricultural waste with
lower heating.

19. CONCLUSION
• The future of green coal technologies is bright and they will definitely
play a key role in global efforts of reduction in environmental impact
of power generation.
• The clean coal technologies offer: more efficient power generation
and cleaner power generation (reduction in GHG emission).
• The recent developments in clean coal technologies have been very
encouraging and have increased possibility of reaching ‚near-zero–
emission power generation.
