Abstract
Solid carbon fuel resources like coal and solid biomass are very important energy resources now and for the future. Coal reserves are more abundant than other fossil fuels, so coal will be important energy resource in the future. Biomass is regarded as renewable energy. For a stable supply of energy and protection against the global warming problem, advanced technologies for the utilization of coal and biomass are needed. Powder technology is important for effective utilization of solid carbon fuels. Powder handling technologies, from the mining of coal and the collection of biomass to the utilization of these fuels, is being utilized. In this paper, the role of powder technology in conventional thermal power plants and future high performance power plants is discussed along with the possibility of more effective contribution of powder technology including fuel upgrading technologies.
