[Stoves] Lignite in Mississippi

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

 

Energy Company Southern reports they have patented and licensed a lignite
burning power plant design that 'burns cleaner' than natural gas. It has
been licensed to China. It was developed for a Mississippi-based coal
deposit. The Boss man (CNBC interview) did not define 'cleaner'.

 

My suspicion is that it is a fuel composition-related achievement. The H2
content of the fuel must be high. It also must be a statement conditioned on
the combustion devices being defined in order to make the comparison.

 

I am happy to hear that they have done at a large scale what we have done on
a micro scale. I am willing to bet it is a combined cycle gasification mode
power plant. The increased efficiency reduces the emissions per kW output.

 

Regards

Crispin
