ASSOCARBONI LOOKS AT COAL FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE
 ASSOCARBONI is in favour of an international mechanism to provide financial support to countries building high efficiency low emission coal plants.
In the last decades, growth in renewable energy technology has been driven by investment incentives and supporting policies, such as feed-in-tariffs, contracts for difference and other mechanisms.
" The provision of secure, low-cost, reliable electricity, the development of infrastructure and the option to produce liquid fuels are three specific ways in which coal directly contributes to greater economic growth, job creation, and higher personal income and wealth" - The Italian Coal Association (ASSOCARBONI).
According to ASSOCARBONI’s latest press note, the deployment of high efficiency low emission (HELE) power plants, using technology already available today, is the first step in the pathway towards the adoption of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, which is key to achieving global climate goals.
Modern high efficiency low emission coal plants, now available and producing electricity in Italy, emit 25-33% less CO2 and can significantly reduce or eliminate non-carbon emissions compared to older, less efficient subcritical technology, ASSOCARBONI says in its press report.
ASSOCARBONI is a non-profit organization founded in 1897, which represents national and international companies engaged in solid fuels. Andrea Clavarino Chairman of ASSOCARBONI to attend the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21), to be held in Paris from 30th November until 11th December 2015.
ASSOCARBONI noted that, Italian coal operators have shown an extraordinary ability to focus on innovation: all the Italian coal plants have obtained the stringent European environmental certifications (EMAS) and boast an average efficiency of 40%, with a peak of 46% in Torrevaldaliga Nord plant, which is only achieved by two other plants globally, in Japan and Denmark.
If these highly efficient technologies were extended to the over 3,000 inefficient coal plants, with an average efficiency of 33%, operating in the developing countries, 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2 per year would be eliminated, according to the estimates of the European Power Plant Suppliers Association (EPPSA).
This result would be equivalent to two and a half times the 600 million tons of CO2 that are already avoided thanks to renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric, with the total cost of subsidy estimated at USD 120 billion.
Furthermore, coal combustion technologies continue to evolve. There is additional potential beyond current HELE technology for future deployment of advanced ultra-supercritical and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plants. These technologies are likely to be commercially available around 2020, with efficiencies approaching 50%.
Thus coal is not in contrast with an increasing use of renewable energy, but instead coal and renewable complement one another and are partners in meeting present and future energy needs.
In this respect, Assocarboni is in favour of an international mechanism to provide financial support to countries building high efficiency low emission coal plants. In the last decades, growth in renewable energy technology has been driven by investment incentives and supporting policies, such as feed-in-tariffs, contracts for difference and other mechanisms.
In order to achieve climate mitigation goals, a widespread deployment of carbon capture and storage technology is fundamental. However, this will not be possible until CCS receives policy parity with renewable energies.
“Over the last decades, the coal industry has made huge steps towards environmental sustainability. Today coal guarantees cost effectiveness and energy security and it is therefore the optimal fuel to accompany the growth of renewables on the path of climate change mitigation. The COP21 will have to take this into account”, Clavarino concluded.
