However, coal-fired power plants also currently fuel 41% of global electricity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClean Electricity Through Advanced Coal Technologies\u003c\/i\u003e discusses the environmental issues caused by coal power, such as air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and toxic solid wastes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume focuses on increasingly prevalent newer generation technologies with smaller environmental footprints than the existing coal-fired infrastructure throughout most of the world. These technologies include fluidized-bed combustion and gasification.
