Jin, Y. (author), Scherer, L. (author), Sutanudjaja, E.H. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Behrens, P. (author)Large numbers of China's thermal power plants are in water-stressed regions. Changes in the availability of water resources due to climate change may impact the vulnerability of regional and national electricity generation. Here we explore this vulnerability for coal-fired power units (CPUs) as the generation-type most exposed to climate risk....article 2022

Sadavarte, P. (author), Pandey, S. (author), Maasakkers, J.D. (author), van der Gon, H.D. (author), Houweling, S. (author), Aben, I. (author)Coal mines are globally an important source of methane and also one of the largest point sources of methane. We present a high resolution 0.1° × 0.1° bottom-up gridded emission inventory for methane emissions from coal mines in India and Australia, which are among the top five coal producing countries in 2018. The aim is to reduce the...article 2022

(author)Coals are heterogeneous and the zones of interest for gas production (high fracture density) are often friable. 3D printed (3DP) rocks can create a repeatable analogue by minimizing specimen variability. This study investigates a series of 3DP coal seam gas packages under various flow conditions to determine the impact of fracture network and...article 2022

Evaluation of Steam-Exploded Wood Pellets Storage and Handling Safety in a Coal-Designed Power PlantAbelha, P. (author), Cieplik, M.K. (author)Solid biofuels are currently used in increasing volumes to replace fossil equivalents. Next to the traditional wood derived fuels, the advancement of biomass upgrading technologies like steam explosion (SE), followed by pelleting, further broadens the variety of materials on the market. This thermochemical and mechanical upgrading improves...article 2021

Mourao Vilela, C.F. (author), Abelha, P.M.R. (author)Pulverized coal combustion and entrained flow gasification are two of the main technologies worldwide that use coal as feedstock. In a coal-fired power plant the pulverized fuel is transported pneumatically with air in dilute phase to the boiler whereas in the second case the coal is ientrained into the gasifier in dense phase. Biomass could be...conference paper 2019

(author)Electricity production and distribution is facing two major changes. First, production is shifting from classical energy sources such as coal and nuclear power toward renewable resources such as solar and wind. Second, consumption in the low voltage grid is expected to grow significantly due to the expected introduction of electrical vehicles....article 2017
