The paper optimizes a molten‑salt TES peak‑shaving retrofit for a 600 MW supercritical CFPP by coupling an integrated MSTES model with two energy‑saving devices: a No. 0 high‑pressure heater (HPH) and a front steam cooler (FSC).
The CTC’s first report sets out a practical plan to cut emissions from existing coal power and enable just, country‑driven coal‑to‑clean transitions. It highlights four levers for legacy coal fleets—early retirement, repurposing for flexibility, CCUS retrofits, and co‑firing low‑emissions fuels.
As China accelerates the deployment of wind and solar at unprecedented scale, the challenge is shifting from building clean power to ensuring the system can flex to accommodate it. This IEA report explores how China’s power system must evolve to manage rising variability and enable a reliable, low-carbon grid through 2030. The report examines how…
Lukasz Bartela, leader of the DEsire project on how coal-to-nuclear can be part of the Just Transformation of coal dependent regions of Poland.
Hyme's versatile, high performance thermal storage plants, can decarbonise energy intensive industries and retrofit CHP utility plants.
What is the introduction of carbon mitigation efforts with nuclear and coal power generation? Can repowering coal to nuclear support climate change efforts?
In October 2024, a two-day summit in Seoul, South Korea, brought together leaders and experts from across the globe to discuss a critical challenge: how to decarbonize coal plants without abandoning investments or displacing local workforces. Enjoy this short snapshot of our 2-day event.
Repowering is policy driven, and so will require political will and clear coal phase out commitments or constraints backed by national plans. Kaya analyses 5 Asian countries.
Sheng Zhou from Tsinghua University's presentation on C2N in China using SMRs, with two case studies: HTGR replacing a coal power plant and NHR200-II coupling in a petrochemical park.
SMECI lignite plant in Christine, Texas, USA emits 1.8 million tons of CO2 per year. 400 jobs could be supported by converting this plant to clean, renewable power.
Robert Lance Cook is the Chief Technology Officer of Sage Geosystems. They have solved how to make 'hot dry rock' geothermal commercially viable.
