Advances and challenges in CO2 capture
Capture and geological storage of CO2 implies increased cost of electricity and added fuel. This owes to increased complexity and capital expenses, and to the heat and power sacrificed to trap the CO2 and preventing it from entering the ambient air. Jens Hetland and Nils Anders Røkke of Norway’s SINTEF Energy Research reflect on the urgency of CCS and the current state of development of related technologies, particularly relating to CO2 capture and its inherent potential and limitations.
Thermal coal market update
While the international trade in thermal coal is relatively small compared to the overall level of production worldwide, it still has important repercussions for power plant operators, particularly those situated near the coast. With this in mind, IFandP takes a close look at the current state of the market and the outlook for 2010 and beyond.

Lignite: still in play?
Despite growing awareness over the issues posed by uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions, it is becoming increasingly clear that many companies are still turning to one of the world’s dirtiest fuels, driven by the fact, that despite growing environmental awareness, it is much cheaper than cleaner sources of energy such as natural gas and renewables.
