To meet future energy demand growth and replace older or inefficient units, a large number of fossil fuel-fired plants will need to bebuilt worldwide in the next decade. Yet CO2 emissions from fossil-fired power generation are a major contributor to climate change. As a result, new plants must be designed and operated at highest efficiency. The case studies in this report respond to a request to the IEA from the G8 Summit in July 2005  to illustrate the degree of efficiency now achieved in modern plants in different parts of the world using various grades of fossil fuels. The plants were selected from different geographical areas, because local factors influence attainable efficiency.  The results of these analyses show that the technologies for high efficiency (low CO2 emissions) and very low conventional pollutant emissions (particulates, SO2, NOx) from fossil fuel-fired power generation are available now through PCC, IGCC or NGCC at a commercially acceptable cost.

This book presents the accumulated data and current state of geological knowledge on China’s main shale gas fields. It addresses a broad range of topics, including the geological setting, reference sections and published boreholes, lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy, sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy of the late Ordovician to early Silurian, spatial and temporal distribution patterns and environmental changes in the black shales of the Wufeng and Lungmachi formations, numerical analysis of the Wufengian and Lungmachian Total Organic Carbon (TOC), late Ordovician to early Silurian bentonites of the Yangtze region, and a graptolite atlas of the Wufeng and Lungmachi formations. Given its scope, the book represents a valuable asset for researchers and petroleum engineers alike.

This book provides the latest knowledge and advances in mine drainage, an increasingly important field due to its environmental and economic importance. The book contains a comprehensive overview of the most promising current passive treatments for mine drainage. Specifically, this book methodically explores recent literature of passive treatment research and classifies them as source control, in situ, and ex situ solutions. Each type of technology is discussed in terms of mechanisms, applicability, advantages, disadvantages, current research, and trends in the field. This work emphasizes the comprehensiveness of the entire field, offering researchers and policymakers a guide for reference, research ideas, understanding, and application of each technology. It further discusses recent trends in the material selection of passive treatment applications, and largely the use of industrial waste and by-products to incorporate moresustainable practices for mine drainage remediation. .

This book presents the research on geological genetic analysis of oil and gas reservoirs. It expounds on the methods, problems, and prospects of geological genetic analyses of oil and gas reservoirs, considering structures, reservoirs, and oil–gas–water (OGW) systems. Then, it explains the application of geological genetic analysis of oil and gas reservoirs with examples of volcanic rocks in the Songliao Basin, glutenites in the northwestern Junggar Basin, and sandstones in the Liaohe Basin. It is a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, and graduate students engaged in oil/gas exploration both from industrial and academic sectors.
