Abstract :
There is an inseparable relationship between
the use of technology and environmental damage. To
overcome environmental damage, the world's population
must make various efforts, especially the use of the latest
technology by utilizing environmentally friendly fossil
fuels. Coal is one of the fossil fuels and most of the coal is
used for power generation. Power plants that use coal as
an energy source can cause increased pollutant emissions
such as SO2, NOx, CO2 and others. Most of the power
plants in Indonesia use coal as an energy source. The
existence of the Paris Agreement which aims to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions encourages the Indonesian
government to reduce air emissions. Indonesia has coal
reserves of 38.84 billion tons in 2021. With many power
plants that use coal energy and Indonesia's very large
coal reserves, technologies that can minimize pollution
resulting from coal utilization are needed. One way that
can be done to overcome this problem is to apply clean
coal technology (Clean Coal Technologies) which can be
classified according to the level of the energy production
process at the time of power generation, including PreCombustion and Post-Combustion technologies. The
technology used before the combustion stage is using FBC
(Fluidized Bed Combustion) technology, coal gasification
technology, MHD (Magnetic Hydrodynamic Technology),
Fuel Cell Technology and IGCC Combination. The
technology carried out after the combustion stage is using
denitrification technology, dedusting technology,
desulfurization technology and oxy-combustion system.
In this study, the author will use a descriptive method
with a qualitative approach, where the research intends
to understand clean coal technologies that can be applied
to power plants in Indonesia.
