The report presents the design and economic comparisons of a nominal 530 MWe net atmospheric fluidized-bed combustion (AFBC) plant and comparable pulverized lignite-fired (PLF) plant with a limestone based flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system. Both plants are mine-mouth installations, located in Freestone County, Texas, and designed to burn Texas lignite, with a higher heating value of 6500 Btu/lb and a sulfur content of 1%.
