Clean coal technologies in Japan:A review

doi:10.1016/j.cjche.2016.12.008

Abstract

Abstract: Coal is the primary fossil fuel most used in the world for the electricity generation, iron making, and cement/concrete and chemical production. However, utilization of coal also results in emissions of CO₂, SO_x, NO_x and other noxious compounds. The development of clean coal technology (CCT) is a main issue to maintain a clean environment. CCT in Japan is considered the highest level in the world. In this review, the developing CCTs in Japan including high efficiency combustion technologies, advanced gasification technologies, CO₂ recovery and utilization technologies, and flue gas cleaning technologies are introduced and discussed. It is expected to provide some new view-of-points for CCT development.
