To heat that boiler, the damp, crumbly brown coal known as lignite — which is even more polluting than the harder black anthracite variety — burns in the presence of pure oxygen, a process known as oxyfuel, releasing as waste both water vapor and that more notorious greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2).

As defined in Title 26 of the US Code (The Internal Revenue Code of 1986), refined coal means a fuel which is a liquid, gaseous or solid fuel produced from coal (including lignite) or high carbon fly ash, including such fuel used as a feedstock; and is sold with the reasonable expectation that it will be used to produce steam, resulting in a qualified emission reduction.

The report finds that under a Paris - compliant cap for the EU - ETS, carbon prices would need to average $ 45 - $ 55 / tonne for a sustained period to drive coal and lignite power plants out of the market and keep emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, which seeks to limit temperature rise well below 2 ˚C of warming versus pre-industrial times.

Behind the scenes, the company has moved to license the technology worldwide, hoping to sell its gasification and carbon capture technology to countries such as China, India, Pakistan and Poland which have reserves of low - grade lignite.

One of the engineers, Brett Wingo, who blew the whistle on schedule delays at the plant in a New York Times investigation earlier this month, noted that aside from the gasifier itself, which is supposed to turn lignite coal into synthesis gas, or syngas, there are numerous other first - of - its - kind systems that Southern is not publicly acknowledging as likely delaying factors in its bid to put its «clean coal» power plant — already two years behind schedule and almost $ 5 billion over-budget — on - line.

Greek lignite reserves amount to approximately 4 million tonnes of which about half can be exploited by DEI, the Greek Public Power Company.
