| Summary | Annotation Coal is an important fossil fuel resource for many nations due to its large remaining reserves, relatively low processing cost and high energy intensity potential. Certain issues surround its utilization, however, including emissions of pollutants and growing concern about climate change. The two volumes of The coal handbook present a systematic and comprehensive review of coal production and utilization in industrial applications, from power plants to steel and iron making, with emphasis on cleaner production. After an introductory section exploring the social and economic value of coal and emissions from coal utilization, Volume 2 concentrates on global coal production and coal use in industry.This volume draws upon the foundations provided in Volume one, including the social and economic value of coal and emissions from coal utilization, and then proceeds to cover all technological aspects of coal utilization including an insightful look into the BRIC countries where the immediate future of coal utilization is likely to continue to thrive for the next 20 years. Chapters cover coal use in power generation, iron and steelmaking, conversion in liquid fuels and chemicals, and approaches to cost-in-use and environmental impact assessments. The final chapter summarizes the anticipated future pathway towards sustainable, long-term coal use suggesting transitions that will be needed to ensure cleaner utilization for many decades to come. |
