In case of pulverized coal combustion, reduction in CO2 emissions in commonly used technologies is achieved by partial replacement of coal with less carbon-intensive fuels, such as natural gas and non-standard coal. The last decade saw a significant increase in the combustion of coal mixed with biomass, the carbon dioxide emissions during the combustion of which are not considered. A new technology is under development featuring co-combustion of coal and ammonia, which does not contain carbon.
