Here are four key reasons why you need to attend COAL-GEN Europe 2012:

1. Rafako SA, a leading Polish OEM, will be discussing the contentious T24 steel issue for ultra-supercritical boilers, while we find out how a joint China/German project has taken a major step towards achieving a 50% efficient steam power plant.
   
2. Leading technologists in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS) will provide important updates on their carbon capture technologies and the CCS projects they are involved in, including the post-combustion capture demonstration project at Poland’s Belchatow power station, Europe’s largest thermal power plant.
   
3. The importance of balancing the grid as more renewable resources are integrated is a key issue facing the European power sector, and one that will have growing importance in Poland as it develops its renewable energy base. In an innovative session, we find out how advanced coal-fired power plants can play a significant role in grid balancing.
   
4. Two high-level plenary panel discussions:
   a. A panel of industry experts discusses whether or not coal has a role in helping meet Europe’s perceived energy gap resulting from an arrest in new nuclear build plans or in some cases a complete move away from nuclear power.
   b. A panel of industry leaders with a particular expertise in Eastern Europe discusses whether coal’s future in power generation lies in this dynamic region, exploring both market development opportunities and challenges that need to be overcome.
