Techno-Economic Study of Biomass Co-Firing with and without CO2 Capture in an Australian Black Coal-Fired Power Plant
Abstract Coal-fired plants contribute more than 30% of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce the emissions, co-firing biomass with coal has been proposed as a near-term option. If CO2 capture is also implemented at the same power...
