However, coal-fired electric power plants are one of the largest sources of air pollution in the United States, with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from burning of fossil fuels believed to be the major contributor to global climate change. Regulations under development at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would impose new requirements on fossil-fueled (mostly coal-fired) power plants (CFPPs) to control GHG emissions. This book focuses on efficiency improvements to power plants, and discusses retrofits, technologies IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS: ISSUES AND POTENTIAL BENEFITS; IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS: ISSUES AND POTENTIAL BENEFITS; Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data; Contents; Preface; Chapter 1: Increasing the Efficiency of Existing Coal-Fired Power Plants*; Summary; Introduction; Coal and Existing U.S. Coal Power Plants; Coal and Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Types of U.S. Coal-Fired Power Plants; U.S. Coal Power Plants Are Aging; Efficiency of Power Plants and Power Plant Systems; Efficiency Improvements to Reduce GHG Emissions National Energy Technology Laboratory StudiesEnvironmental Protection Agency Study; International Energy Agency Study; Using Renewables to Improve Coal Plant Efficiency; Potential Barriers to Implementing Efficiency Upgrades; New Source Review; Fuel Prices for Electricity and Regulatory Uncertainty; Possible Approaches to Encourage Efficiency Improvement; Conclusion and Policy Options; End Notes; Chapter 2: Improving the Efficiency of Coal-Fired Power Plants for Near Term Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions(; Executive Summary; Decile Analysis; Setting a Cfpp Fleet Efficiency Target New Source ReviewSummary; Future Work; References; End Notes; Chapter 3: Available and Emerging Technologies for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Coal-Fired Electric Generating Units*; Acronyms and Abbreviations; 1.
