Co-firing large coal-fired utility boilers with a mixture of wood and coal is potentially attractive for several reasons: wood can be used to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions; wood reduces the amount of fossil carbon dioxide emissions. Experiments have indicated that about 4 percent of coal can be replaced by wood without adding additional equipment. This article analyses the use of wood for co-firing with high sulfur coal in Kentucky and Tennessee using models and economic evaluation. Potential problems are mentioned. 1 fig., 1 tab.
