Abstract
Turkey has one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Rapid economic expansion, rising population, and growing industrialisation have triggered a general increase in energy demand.
During the last decade, natural gas and electricity requirements have soared. Over the next ten years, the current level of energy demand is expected to double. In order to meet this, significant investment in the energy sector will be required.

Abstract
Pulverised coal combustion (PCC) power plant with supercritical (SC) steam parameters have
been operational for over forty years and ultra-supercritical (USC) PCC plant have been
operational for just over twenty years. This significant amount of operating experience is
valuable regarding the performance of high temperatures steels. For example 9–12% chromium
martensitic steels have had problems with cracking and some have not been as strong as they
were projected to be. Additionally, PCC power plant have been operated outside of design

Abstract
In recent years, the considerable increase in the price of crude oil and natural gas and concerns about
their security of supply focused attention on whether fuel for power production and feedstocks for the
chemical industry could be obtained from the gasification of coal. The need to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions has enhanced the prospects of power generation from Integrated Gasification Combined

Abstract
It has been estimated that 780 Mt of coal combustion products (CCPs) were produced worldwide in
2010. Only about 53.5% were utilised, the rest went to storage or disposal sites. Disposal of coal
combustion waste (CCW) on-site at a power plant may involve decades-long accumulation of waste,
with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of tonnes of dry ash or wet ash slurry being stored. In
