Clean coal technologies were at least 25 percent more efficient than traditional coal fired power plants.

Some Parties indicated that competition in electricity generation decreases the attractiveness of large central power stations, which may imply less coal burning and CO2 emissions, but also less nuclear power with its low GHG emissions profile.

Moreover, most economic models do not account for the externalities related to coal and carbon pollution. For example, a recent report by Trucost estimates that coal fired power generation worldwide may be responsible for around 1 trillion of damage due to climate change and air pollution.

Natural gas emits only half as much CO2 as coal, and occupies a rapidly increasing share of electricity generation up 37 since 2007, while coal s share has plummeted by 25 . Indeed, natural gas has drawn close to coal as the number one source of US power.

There is no nuclear power generation in Portugal.

And coal burning furnaces are going in there for hydroelectric power literally weekly.

The power generation will come from the ocean itself.

Coal is one place to begin, as it will continue to generate the lion s share of the world s electricity for decades to come. Greater sharing of existing cleaner coal technologies is needed, as is continued development of next generation clean coal plants.

At 15 20 p.m. on August 11, Hubei Dangyang Madian Coal Gangue Power Generation Co., Ltd. had a pipe bursting accident, in which 21 people were confirmed dead and 5 people were injured, including 3 seriously injured.

This is why the OECD Secretary General has suggested that it is time for a moratorium on the construction of conventional coal fired power plants. Governments have far more cost effective electricity generation technologies at their disposal.

(g) Preparing national health prophylaxis programmes for at risk industrial branches (such as coal mining, power generation, metallurgy, etc.), including special measures for working conditions in small companies and offices in conformity with ILO Convention No. 120.

Some Parties reported substantial hydroelectric power generation in their countries.

All the world's photovoltaic solar panels generate as much electricity as two coal power plants.

It's for power generation, transportation, it's peaking fuel, it's all those.

HEU is not required for the generation of civilian nuclear power.

(f) Promotion of combined heat and power generation and district heating

Due to power interruption, some hospitals and rescue settlements in Palu rely on fuel for power generation.

From 1996 to 2000, China also closed down many coal fired power plants that were producing less than 50 MW of power.

Obama also mentioned that he had raised fuel economy standards for cars in the US, and had invested in renewable energy sources, like solar and wind power. But, when Romney talked about increasing coal production, Obama neglected to point out that carbon dioxide from coal fired electricity generation is already a major contributor to climate change that we still lack the technology to produce clean coal and that increasing the use of coal will impose huge burdens on people worldwide.

Coal mining enterprises and coal trading enterprises may not adulterate coal and sell inferior coal as quality coal.

Nuclear power generation is an indispensable element of Pakistan's national energy strategy.

The power generated would meet the demand of nearly 750,000 households, and save 250,000 tonnes of coal.

The surface mining of coal, refineries and shipping terminals, power plants and transmission lines all occupy land.

Article 61 Without consent of coal mining enterprises, no units or individuals may occupy the railways, roads, navigation channels, wharves, power lines and water supply pipes specially used by coal mining enterprises.

As far as technologically and economically possible, they intend to use high efficiency technologies for power production from coal, including supercritical steam technology, integrated coal gasification combined cycle and fluidized bed technology.

We have now, and are the first generation with, the power to do this.

Other Parties expected an increase in rainfall and flooding, thus affecting hydroelectric power generation.

Its leaders bucked the power of coal and oil interests, which wield enormous power in Australia. If they can do it to popular acclaim, others can, too.

Customers and coal trading enterprises in coal marketing areas shall have the right to buy coal directly from coal mining enterprises.

Following a referendum in 1978, Austria renounced the use of nuclear energy for power generation and does not operate nuclear power plants.

South Africa reported on its 60 billion tonnes of coal reserves and its dependence on this energy source for 90 per cent of its electricity generation.

Put differently, if the world continues to build coal fired power plants at the current rate, those plants will still be around in 2050, regardless of what other technologies become viable in the meantime. Solar power cannot stop those coal fired plants from being built today.

Denmark, which houses some of the most efficient coal fired power plants in the world, equally relies on coal for half of its electricity production. The same is true for Germany, which is home to some of the most efficient pulverized coal combustion units in Europe.

But they're usually good to be large, so they're not good for distributed power generation.

For instance, a law specific to the power generation sector might grant the following easements

Nuclear and hydro power is used for 50 60 per cent of the electricity generation.

Look at the long term price trends of coal and gas, which power the vast majority of global electricity production. Despite a recent increase, real coal prices have been trending downward since the 1950s.

It is little wonder, then, that US Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who two years ago described the expansion of coal fired power plants as his worst nightmare, now calls coal a great natural resource.

India and many other Parties also indicated that coal will be the mainstay of power production for the foreseeable future.

Article 35 The State shall encourage and support coal mining enterprises and other enterprises to produce both coal and electricity, coking coal, coal chemicals and building materials made of coal and engage in deep and fine processing of coal.

Against this picture then, it is hard not to expect developing countries to exploit their abundant coal resources to generate power for their own development, especially given that modern technology can help produce coal cleanly.

There, competition in electricity generation has spurred shifts from coal and oil to natural gas, which is burned in high efficiency units, and increased productivity in nuclear plants.
