Coal is an abundant energy resource in the world. Environmental regulations on coal applications are becoming more and more stringent. Clean coal technologies are evolving in recent years. The clean coal technologies include removing minerals and impurities from coal, reducing air emissions in coal gasification and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant, and flue gas treatment to remove sulfur dioxide, NOx, etc, and CO2 capture. Presentations are invited from industry, research institutions and academia on current practices and emerging developments addressing these issues.
