Abstract
Combustion is the most widely used biomass conversion practice. Cocombustion of carbon-neutral biomass in a coal-fired boiler is an effective practical and inexpensive means of reduction in carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants. Carbon capture and storage is another option for reducing carbon emissions from fossil fuel-fired plants. This chapter discusses different means of cofiring biomass with coal and highlights some important issues involved in this process. Pretreatment of biomass could significantly enhance the percentage replacement of coal with biomass. Operating problems of cofired boiler are also discussed here.
