CCS Retrofit: Analysis of the Globally Installed Coal-Fired Power Plant Fleet
Finkenrath, Matthias; Smith, Julian; Volk, Dennis - Agence Internationale de l'Énergie - 2012
Electricity generation from coal is still growing rapidly and energy scenarios from the IEA expect a possible increase from today's 1 600 GW of coal-fired power plants to over 2 600 GW until 2035. This trend will increase the lock-in of carbon intensive electricity sources, while IEA assessments...
