Abstract
Currently, the average efficiency of coal-fired power plants is 33 per cent, which is a lot lower than the 45 per cent achieved by state-of-the-art plants and still significantly below the 40 per cent efficiency that `off-theshelf technologies can deliver. Every one per cent increase of in coal-fired power plant efficiencies can reduce CO2 emissions by between two and three per cent.Cleaner coal technologies such as high efficiency low emission (HELE) coal-fired power generation and carbon capture, use and storage (CCS) are already commercially available and WCA says that if they are deployed now they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the entire power sector by around 20 per cent.
