Advanced fossil fuel technologies for cleaner electricity generation

Advanced technologies for using fossil fuels in electricity generation have evolved over the past decades primarily as a means of achieving higher fuel energy efficiency through burning of these fuels at higher temperatures. An important goal in recent years has also been to reduce CO2 emissions from power plants, which historically have been the biggest single source of man-made CO2, as part of the global program of mitigating climate change.
