Abstract
In 1998, a colleague introduced a paper on greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction with a famous Mark
Twain quote: ‘Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.’ Humour aside,
the colleague’s point was to highlight the considerable body of work under way to develop
technologies to address the climate change impacts of GHG emissions. One option is carbon capture

Abstract
Chemical looping combustion is an indirect form of combustion in which an oxygen-containing solid material, typically a metal
oxide, supplies the oxygen to a fuel, and the spent oxygen ‘carrier’ is separately regenerated by high temperature reaction in an air
stream. As there is no direct contact between air and fuel, CO2 recovery up to very high levels is simplified. There is also potential

Abstract
Whenever coal is burnt, ash is produced by the thermal transformation of the mineral matter present. Large-scale uses of coal,
such as power generation, give rise to significant quantities of ash and a number of uses for this by-product have been developed
over time.
During the last two decades a number of changes have occurred in the coal-fired power generation sector that have affected ash

Abstract
The practice of cofiring biomass in full-scale coal utility plants is increasing, due to the benefits of reduced fossil fuel based CO2
emissions. Biomass also tends to have a lower sulphur content than coal and therefore emissions of SO2 can be reduced. The same
is true for NOx emissions from lower fuel nitrogen content. Further, the lower flame temperatures and different combustion

Abstract
Microbial CH4 chemistry and its formation in coal are summarised. The results of recent research on microbial CH4 formation are
reviewed from Australia, China, Germany, Japan, and the USA. Two fields of interest are considered in this report. Enhanced
