Power Generation Industry Trends
Thermal power generation companies are investing in advanced ultra-supercritical (AUSC) pulverized coal technology to increase plant operating efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. AUSC operates with temperatures in the range of about 700-750°C. This technology also operates with an efficiency greater than 50% and significantly reduces carbon emissions at the source. Many government-owned and private power producers are investing in these technologies to enhance power plants efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. For instance, in September 2019, the USA Department of Energy invested $56 million in coal technology projects; out of this $ 56 million $5 million was allocated to advanced ultra-supercritical power plants. These investments are focused on using advanced materials power generation activities to increase the efficiency of the plant and its environmental performance.
