Quantifying operational lifetimes for coal power plants under the Paris goals – (Nature Communications)
The Paris Agreement crystallized the world’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit global temperature change to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5 °C

Economic and environmental effects of peak regulation using coal-fired power for the priority dispatch of wind power in China – (Cleaner Production)
The paper develops four scenarios: I) full wind curtailment with average coal dispatch, II) no curtailment with average coal dispatch, III) no curtailment with optimal coal dispatch, and IV) partial curtailment with optimal coal dispatch, calculated across 24 hours for a coal plant and wind farm in Harbin.

Analysis of a solar-aided coal-fired power generation system based on thermo-economic structural theory
Authors: Rongrong Zhai, Hongtao Liu, Chao Li, Miaomiao Zhao, Yongping Yang Researchers have explored ways to integrate renewable energy into existing coal-fired power plants in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining reliable electricity production. This study examines a solar-aided coal-fired power generation (SAPG) system, where solar thermal energy replaces part of the steam extraction process used to heat feedwater in conventional…

Transitioning Coal to Geothermal – (AltaRock Energy, Inc.)
AltaRock Energy, Inc: Only with EGS can we replace coal with geothermal in a wide variety of locations. Co-locating the geothermal project on land owned by the coal plant takes advantage of the grid connection, permitting and cooling system as well as a skilled workforce. Waste water stored in ponds at the site can be…

Technology-specific Cost and Performance Parameters – (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
For the purpose of the Working Group III (WGIII) contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), a limited but still diverse set of sector-specific metrics is used to strike a balance between harmonization of approaches across sectors and adequate consideration of the complexities involved.

Evaluation of Suitability of Selected Set of Coal Plant Sites for Repowering with Small Modular Reactors – (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
This report explains the approach that the ORNL developed for screening a sample set of “small” coal stations for possible repowering with SMRs, including spatial modelling and initial results.
