COAL-GEN Europe 2011

The Coal-Gen Europe conference and exhibition, will be held in Prague, Czech Republic in February 2011.

With the current boom in demand for coal, providing Europe with reliable and affordable power,great investment is being made in its production and the carbon dioxide management of the industry.

Carbon dioxide CO 2 management from coal is becoming increasingly important. Carbon capture andstorage (CCS) is the critical enabling technology to help reduce CO2 emissions significantly while also allowing coal to meet the world’s pressing energy needs.

CEZ Group is one of the top ten power producers in Europe and has launched a 3.5 billion Euro programmeto refurbish its coal-fired power plants, replacing about 60 per cent of existing coal plant capacity. coal-based power generation industry and the revolutionary technologies that will help Europe meet itsenvironmental challenges.

Technologies including gasification, oxy fuel and CCS all bring their opportunities for enhancing the environmental performance of coal plants in a carbon-constrained world, whilst aiming to improve generation efficiency.

In the Czech Republic coal accounts for nearly 60 per cent of electricity production and about 47 per cent of primary energy supply.

COAL-GEN Europe is the premier pan-European conference and exhibition dedicated to the resurging

The COAL-GEN Europe conference aims to discuss the future of coal and the advances in design andtechnology, and the need for continued investment in optimising the coal-based power stations and the raw material on which they rely.

If your company supplies products or services to the coal power generation industry, then COAL-GEN Europe is essential to reaching the key industry professionals and decision makers.
