While the world's oil situation appears increasingly precarious under the impact of the reduction of oil supply provoked by the Iranian coup and OPEC's successive price increase, the “Tentative prospect on the long-term demand and supply of energy” which was published by the Demand-Supply Subcommittee of the Government's Comprehensive Energy Survey Commission in August 1979, highlighted coal as the most realistic energy source in place of oil.Our company, being the supplier of electricity located in the coal-producing region, has long committed itself to providing a stable supply of power primarily based on the coal-burning power plants, along the line of the national policy.This paper describes the outline of the boilers in our existing coal-fired steam power plants, characteristics of the fuel coal, hauling methods and equipment, disposition and possible utilization of the cinder ash, and anti-pollution measures, and further relates on the necessary considerations on expanding the use of coal, notably on the design of boiler and antipollution measures in using overseas coal, as well as the present state and unsettled problems of novel coal combustion technology such as COM, with on aim of providing information that will be useful for the planning and implementation of a coal utilization project.
