This presentation will provide attendees with an overview of how selected countries are decarbonizing their coal-fueled power plants while maintaining their baseload service by substituting sustainably sourced wood pellet fuel for coal. There will be discussion of UK and EU policies and the European carbon trading system. The presentation will focus on the German power sector and will be complimented with an interactive dashboard that shows how the cost of generation per megawatt-hour at large utility power stations can be lowered significantly by replacing some or all of the coal with wood pellet fuel.
