Coal plays a major role in energy generation. But with the past environmental hazards that it had brought us, the "world" now is more environmentally sensitive. As more and more the populace is experiencing the effects of climate change.
This brought about the changes in the "Coal power Plant Industries", researches and technologies have been made to effectively lessen the impact of Coal Power Plants.

"Among the key options under development for use alone or in combination are:

* Optimizing existing plants so they reduce emissions and increase the amount of electricity produced with the same amount of coal.
* Continuing to develop and refine best-available combustion technology, including circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) technology, which includes supercritical and ultra supercritical combustion. This option may also include burning biomass as a fuel, thus reducing the level of CO2 emissions, and oxy-combustion for collecting CO2-rich flue gas.
* Gasification — turning coal into a gas and removing impurities from the coal gas before it is combusted.
* Carbon capture and storage (CCS) — capturing the carbon dioxide from the flue gas and storing it underground or reusing it."
