La gazéification du charbon est très ancienne mais ce n’ est que récemment que, grâce au développement des turbines à combustion et à l'expérience industrielle de la gazéification des produits pétroliers, des centrales de production d’électricité IGCC [gazéification du charbon intégrée à un cycle combiné] ont vu le jour. Dans cette filière, un gaz, produit par la gazéification sous pression du charbon(à l'air ou à l'oxygène), est refroidi puis épuré aussi soigneusement que possible afin de servir de combustible dans une turbine à combustion dont les fumées à haute température permettent de générer de la vapeur pour alimenter une turbine à condensation classique. 2, record 2, French, - gaz%C3%A9ification%20sous%20pression

Compared to existing coal power plants, clean coal technology (CCT) plants have the potential to both increase the competitiveness and environmental acceptance of coal, through increased overall thermal efficiency and reduced emissions of GHG [greenhouse gas] and other air pollutants. Given the importance of coal-based energy to the global economy and the need to reduce emissions, nations throughout the world are accelerating the development of a host of CCTs including new chemical processes that extract energy from coal in the form of electricity, heat and synthesis gas (H2 and CO) with near zero pollutant emissions. 2, record 4, English, - clean%20coal%20technology

The new 524-megawatt power plant in Hindman, Kentucky, will use so-called clean coal technology, which generates significantly more pollution than natural gas-fired power plants and renewable energy sources, such as wind, biomass, solar and geothermal energy. The plant, which is expected to be in operation by 2004, will emit annually more than 1,000 pounds of mercury, a potent neurotoxin. By comparison, natural gas-fired plants and renewable energy sources emit no mercury. "The term 'clean coal' is like saying 'safe cigarettes,'" said Hawkins.

Si on la compare aux centrales électriques actuelles qui sont alimentées au charbon, la technologie liée au charbon sans émissions (TCE) offre la possibilité d’accroître la compétitivité et l’acceptation sur le plan environnemental de la consommation houillère. Ces deux derniers éléments sont favorisés par une plus grande efficacité thermique globale, ainsi que par la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et des autres polluants atmosphériques. Compte tenu de l’importance de la production énergétique à base de charbon pour l’économie mondiale et de la nécessité de réduire les émissions, un grand nombre de pays travaille actuellement à accélérer le développement de la TCE en plusieurs éléments, notamment de nouveaux procédés chimiques permettant d’extraire de l’énergie du charbon qui adopte la forme d’électricité, de chaleur et de gaz de synthèse (H2 et CO) avec à peu près pas d’émissions polluantes. 2, record 4, French, - technologie%20du%20charbon%20%C3%A9pur%C3%A9
