Abstract :
The expression `clean coal technology (CCT)´ embraces a range of concepts that differ in their attractiveness and commercial potential. This article considers current-to-medium term future CCTs for unit sizes of 350-750 MWe. These include: pulverised fuel plants with flue gas desulphurisation, integrated gasification combined cycle, and hot windbox schemes. The costs of the competing technologies are discussed and environmental comparisons are made
