Fuel Change Studies Including Clean Coal Technologies

A fuel change study in the power sector examines the potential for switching from one fuel source (like coal) to another (like natural gas or renewables) to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance energy security.

“Coal to MSW” refers to the concept of utilizing municipal solid waste (MSW) as a co-fuel or alternative fuel source in coal-fired power plants, or transforming MSW into a coal-like fuel (bio-coal) to replace or supplement coal. This approach aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, improve waste management, and potentially lower carbon emissions. “Refuse-derived fuel (RDF)”,RDF is a fuel derived from processed waste, often consisting of the combustible components of municipal solid waste (MSW) like plastics, paper, and cardboard.

The process of converting “coal to methanol” involves gasifying coal to produce synthesis gas (syngas), followed by catalytic conversion of syngas to methanol. This process typically includes coal gasification, syngas cleaning and conditioning, and finally, methanol synthesis and purification. 

“Coal toPellets” are universally accepted clean and green biofuels made from compressed organic matter or biomass.

• • • Wood pellets are the most common type of pellet fuel and are generally made from compacted sawdust.
    • Rice or wheat straw is converted to solid biofuels by deploying mechanical or thermal processes and their combinations to densify biomass.
    • Bio-Coal is renewable Coal which is made from natural pure rice or wheat husk so are also called Husk Briquettes.
    • Charcoal briquettes made from sugarcane bagasse is a good source of lignin that can be used as biomass fuel than being thrown away.

They form an environment friendly replacement for coal or wood. Benefits of BioCoal. Non-Polluting and Much Cleaner than Coal.
