Carbon dioxide emissions were shown to vary with the calorific value and carbonate content of lignite burned at three large power plants. Carbon dioxide emission factors for these power plants ranged from 1.18 to 1.43 tons of CO2 MW−1 h−1. These emissions must be reduced to minimize the cost of CO2 certificates required by the Emission Trading Scheme of the European Community. The additional cost is higher for plants fed with lower quality lignite or those with lower power plant efficiency. To enhance the competitiveness of domestic lignite, improved CO2 mitigation strategies, such as selective mining and homogenization/blending, are required.
