Clean Coal Electricity Market to hit $85 billion by 2020 Says New Report

Coal is expected to continue to be a dominant fuel in power generation due to its low cost and abundance, says new report ‘Clean Coal Technologies Markets and Trends Worldwide 2nd Edition.’ Nearly 7 billion tonnes of coal were produced globally in 2010, and over 40% of global electricity was coal powered. 

Clean coal technologies that improve the environmental performance of coal power generation are expected to enable coal to remain an attractive fuel option well into the future. Several clean coal technologies that increase efficiency of coal power plants and reduce emissions are actively being developed and deployed to meet these challenges. As development and adoption of these technologies has increased, the global value of electricity generation using clean coal technologies has concurrently grown to $63 billion in 2010 and is further expected to grow to $85 billion by 2020.

The 242 page report provides a detailed discussion of the key technologies, deployed or in development, to address the environmental impact of coal. The various clean coal technologies that hold the most promise for commercial deployment are discussed in the report.
