Natural gas cofiring in stoker boilers is now coming of age and maturing as an off-the-shelf tool to improve the economics of stoker boiler firing. Natural gas cofiring is a technology that blends the most desirable characteristics and capabilities of natural gas with more difficult and problematic solid fuels like coal and wood wastes. Natural gas cofiring involves the use of a very small amount of natural gas, typically less than 10%, firing over stoker grates through special burners. This article seeks to review the five most popular economic drivers related to operating cost reductions available through natural gas cofiring.
