Clean use of coal in electricity generation

  • Characterize the behavior of structural materials for advanced steam cycles (USC, ultra super critical);
  • Develop new and more effective methodologies and instrumentation systems to assess, monitor and diagnose the integrity of critical components of USC systems;
  • Determine the real performance of innovative pollutant abatement technologies (SOx, NOx, etc.) that are more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than those currently in use;
  • Further study of mercury formation during combustion and its evolution in flue gas treatment processes, with guidance on possible mitigation measures;
  • Concretize the concept of a ‘zero liquid discharge’ installation/process;
  • Determine the current state of development and maturity of coal-fired IGCC cycles in an international context and analyze their applicability in a national context;
  • Evaluate the proof of concept of EFCC technology.
