Solving the UK's coal conundrum with better maintenance. Donald McNicol. Energy World. December 2008 P. 20-21.
In the coal world, much attention is being paid to technologies such as gasification and carbon capture and storage. However, as Donald McNicol suggests, this is to miss shorter-terms and more cost effective options around the use of more sophisticated maintenance techniques to keep the cleanest of existing plants running. The economics (not to mention geo-politics) of gas are changing so fast that it would be mistaken to assume that gas - with its lower capital expenditure costs and carbon footprint - can fill all the gaps in our existing coal capacity.
