<p>The prevailing belief is that the use of coal must cease to achieve net-zero emissions. However, new coal power plants, equipped with advanced ultra-supercritical, fuel cells, small supercritical, co-combustion, combined heat and power, and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) technologies offer enhanced thermal efficiency, reduced emissions, and increased flexibility in power generation.</p>

<p>What is the impact of these advanced technologies on the economics of coal generation? How are advanced designs being implemented? If coal power plants employ CCUS technologies on a large scale, what would be the implications for the power sector? Can they coexist with renewables in the power mix?</p>
