Abstract

Coal is abundant and low cost. Diesel engines are efficient and flexible. Using coal to fuel diesel engines could provide a secure, low cost and efficient power generation technology. Coal-fuelled diesel engines have been investigated previously, but the technology has not yet been commercialised. This report reviews the previous research and development (R&D) programmes on coal-fuelled diesel engines and focuses on the recent developments of the technology in its latest form, micronised refined carbons (MRC) and the direct injection carbon engine (DICE).

Abstract

Turkey has one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Rapid economic expansion, rising population, and growing industrialisation have triggered a general increase in energy demand.

During the last decade, natural gas and electricity requirements have soared. Over the next ten years, the current level of energy demand is expected to double. In order to meet this, significant investment in the energy sector will be required.
