Rapid changes in the fuel availability and cost picture, coupled with environmental concerns, emphasize the need to consider new concepts for power generation by industrial plants and electrical utilities. A number of processes are now being developed to produce clean gaseous and liquid fuels from coal and low-grade petroleum products which offer potential for use in gas turbine-based power generating systems. This paper reviews several of the processes and considers the economic and environmental factors affecting their application to power generation systems.Copyright © 1975 by ASME |
