This paper describes the work by the ABB team on the US Department of Energy (DOE) project Engineering Development of Advanced Coal-Fired Low-Emission Boiler Systems (LEBS) which is part of the DOE`s Combustion 2000 Program. The objectives of the LEBS project are to dramatically improve environmental performance of future pulverized coal-fired power plants, to increase their efficiency and to reduce their cost of electricity using near-term technologies, i.e., advanced technologies that are partially developed. The overall objective is to expedite commercialization of the technologies that are developed under LEBS. The technologies being developed by the ABB team are expected to meet all the project objectives, i.e., to reduce emissions of NO{sub x}, SO{sub 2} and particulates to one-third to one-sixth NSPS limits while reducing the cost of electricity and increasing net station (HHV) efficiency to 45%. The results to date and future work are described in the paper.
