Technologies
Technologies have been chosen that are expected to be the bulk of fossil fuelled electricity generating plant over the next 25 years. These technologies are:
- Conventional Pulverised Coal with Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD)
- Fluidised Bed Coal Combustion
- Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle (ICGCC)
- Gas Combined Cycle
- Advanced Gas Combined Cycle
- Combustion Turbine
- Advanced Combustion Turbine
- Generic Distributed Generation
The size of plant included in this study is limited to that likely to be used for wholesale generation of electricity except for the generic Distributed Generation plant which has been included for comparison.
A brief description of each of these technologies is given in Appendix A.
