ABSTRACT
The article examines circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology in power plant furnaces. CFB circulate fuel particles with limestone as they burn in a low-temperature furnace. The process allows biomass and coal to be used as fuel while capturing much of their carbon dioxide emissions and increasing power plant efficiency.
