Abstract

Fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and fuel oil, are used to generate electric power for industrial, commercial, and residential use. Due to its relatively low cost and abundance throughout the world, coal has historically played a significant role in energy production and approximately 41% of the world power generation was supplied by coal-fired power plants in 2008 [1]. While increased discoveries of natural gas and fuel oil resources, and growth in renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy is projected to reduce the use of coal for power generation, energy from coal will continue to be used to satisfy the world’s energy demands.
