[e]- Integrated gasification combined cycle power plant: a.k.a. IGCC; uses coal to produce a synthetic gas that is burned to drive an electrical generator, while produced steam is used to drive another generator. See the Integrated gasification combined cycle article on Wikipedia. [e]
- Fluidized bed combustion power plant: burns coal in a fluidized bed; steam produced as a by-product also drives an electrical generator; see the Fluidized bed combustion article on Wikipedia [e]
- Oxygen firing power plant: a.k.a. Oxy firing plant, works like a conventional coal-fired power plant but uses oxygen instead of air to burn the coal; see the Oxy-fuel combustion process article on Wikipedia [e]
