The U.S. Department of Energy, Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center, is working with private industry to develop the Low Emission Boiler System (LEBS), an advanced coal-fired power generation system for the 21st century. LEBS provides significantly higher thermal efficiency, superior environmental performance and a lower cost of electricity than conventional coal-fired systems. To meet the anticipated increase in electricity demand throughout the world, cleaner and more efficient power plants will be needed. This paper reviews performance of the LEBS, considers further improvements, and discusses its economics.
