CONFERENCE OVERVIEW The cost advantage of coal with CO2 sequestration against natural gas is increasingly highlighting this fossil fuel as a key means of securing Europe’s energy supply. A number of European Utilities have plans for building clean coal technology power plants, but is the industry moving quick enough to take full advantage of investments in this low emissions source of energy? How can we make the best mix of technology, policy and market incentives to allow for a smooth and secure clean coal take-off? Platts European Clean Coal: Optimizing the Generation Mix conference will highlight how the right mix of research, investment, and market incentives will stake a place for clean coal in a sustainable and secure energy future, and how to optimize your portfolio in this rapidly evolving market place. Topics will include: Ensuring coal stays in the generation mix — Balancing security of supply, diversity, and the environment Should there be financial incentives for new Clean Coal projects? The Emissions Trading Scheme — Is there need for guarantees and extra legislation? Integrating clean coal technologies with carbon capture and storage processes At what point will re-investment in retrofitting be needed to meet EU licensing policy and LCPDs? Developments in clean coal technologies — Fluidized bed combustion, supercritical and ultra critical combustion, and integrated gasification combined cycle Facing the challenges of bringing CCT’s to market New build plans in clean coal technology power plants For more information about the conference, contact: Sophie Adams Tel: +44 (0) 20 7176 6658 sophie_adams@platts.com Speaking opportunities, contact: Stephanie Shankland Tel: +44 (0) 20 7176 6671 stephanie_shankland@platts.com Sponsorship opportunities, contact: Michelle Thorby Tel: +44 (0) 20 7176 6229 michelle_thorby@platts.com For media inquiries, contact: Kate McHugh Tel: +44 (0) 20 7176 6273 kate_mchugh@platts.com
