Market Overview
Coal is one of the most important primary fossil fuels, a solid carbon-rich material that is usually brown or black and most often occurs in stratified sedimentary deposits. Clean coal technology is expected to result in reduced emissions from coal-fired thermal plants. When coal is utilized as a fuel source, the gaseous emission through thermal decomposition of coal include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury, and other substance that differ according to the type of coal is being utilized. Accordingly, clean coal technology are being created to expel or decrease toxin discharges to the climate. Some of these techniques include chemically washing minerals, selective catalytic reduction, electrostatic precipitators and improved technology for treating flue gases to remove pollutants.
Market Size & Forecast
The global clean coal technology market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 4.3% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027. The increasing funds for developing innovative and effective technology in order to reduce carbon emissions is expected to drive the growth of clean coal technology market during the forecast period. Government policies, regulations and laws are encouraging the manufactures of large-scale, coal-fired plants with higher efficiency, lower water consumption and low emission controls is anticipated to drive the growth of global clean coal technology market. According to EIA, coal-related CO2 emissions are expected to increase by 0.6% in 2018 and 2019.
