Research and Markets: Global Clean Coal Technologies Market 2014-2018

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nnvh2d/global_clean_coal) has announced the addition of the "Global Clean Coal Technologies Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

The Global Clean Coal Technologies market to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% to 2018

Clean coal refers to the process of reducing carbon emissions and other harmful pollutants that arise from the burning of coal for power generation to the minimum possible level. SC, USC, and IGCC technologies are clean coal technologies that are widely used for setting up new-build coal-fired power plants. The more sophisticated the technology, the higher the steam pressure and temperature requirement is for operating the plant. As a result, the thermal efficiencies improve with the usage of more sophisticated technology. As well as these three technologies, CCS is also an upcoming technology, which is capable of reducing carbon emissions drastically by 80-90 percent. This technology is used in conjunction with SC, USC or IGCC plants.

The Global Clean oal Technologies market can be segmented into three technologies:

• Supercritical
• Ultra-supercritical
• Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle

The report, the Global Clean Coal Technologies Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the Global Clean Coal Technologies market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Key Vendors

• Alstom SA
• Dongfang Electric Corp. Ltd.
• Foster Wheeler AG
• Mitsubishi (News - Alert) Heavy Industries Ltd.
• Shanghai Electric Group Co. Ltd.

Other Prominent Vendors

• Babcock & Wilcox Co.
• Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co.
• Rafako SA
• IHI Corp.
• Hitachi Ltd (News - Alert).

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges confronting the market is the capital-intensive nature of clean coal projects. The more sophisticated the technology used, the higher the capital and operating costs requirements associated with the clean coal project. As a result, advanced clean coal technologies (IGCC or CCS) are not widely used, as they are still not cost-competitive compared with other cleaner sources of energy such as renewables or gas.
