15. HELE coal-fired power generation

16. What are HELE technologies? (HELE=high Efficiency Low Emissions) Reduce non-GHG emissionsReduce CO 2 emissions*Efficiency improvement* Efficiency improvement reduces specific fuel consumption and also reduces specific pollutant emissions. HELECCS

17. Age distribution of existing power plants Ageing infrastructure is the challenge in many OECD countries. Emerging economies have a growing demand for electricity.

18. Decrease generation from subcriticalInstall CCS* on plants over supercritical Increase generation from high-efficiency technology (SC or better) Global coal-fired electricity generation (TWh) Supercritical HELE Plants with CCS* USC Subcritical *CCS (Post-combustion, Oxyfuel, Pre-combustion CO 2 capture) IGCC Improve efficiency, then deploy CCS * CCS fitted to SC (or better) units. Three processes essential to achieve a low-carbon scenario

19. Share of CCS (1=100%) Efficiency improvement CO 2 abatement by CCS Share of CCS Average CO 2 intensity factor in 2DS (gCO 2 /kWh) 33% 34% 37% 42% 43% Raising efficiency significantly reduces the CO 2 /kWh emitted. Efficiency in 2DS Impact of efficiency improvement on CO 2 abatement
