abstract

  • This chapter provides an overview of the current status of coal usage. Existing and emerging technologies for power generation, metal processing and coal conversion are discussed, together with other industrial uses of coal. The current 'state-of-play' and the implications of suggested trends towards emerging, cleaner manufacturing industries on sustainable coal utilization in the short to mid-term are also discussed, together with the likely impacts of increasing environmental pressures.
