Book Description
This paper presents an interesting example of compromise through comprehensive environmental analysis and intensive negotiation to build a coal-fired power plant near an environmentally sensitive area. In December 1993, the US Department of Energy (DOE) completed the final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Healy clean Coal Project (HCCP), a proposed demonstration project that would be cost- shared by DOE and the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA). The HCCP would be built adjacent to the existing coal-fired Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc. (GVEA) Unit No. 1 in Healy, Alaska, about 4 miles north of Denali National Park and Preserve (DNPP). In response to US Department of the Interior (DOI) concerns about potential air quality related impacts on DNPP, DOE facilitated negotiations among DOE, AIDEA, and GVEA which overcame a ''stalemate'' situation. A Memorandum of Agreement was signed by all four parties, enabling DOI to withdraw its objections. The cornerstone of the Agreement is the planned retrofit of Unit No. 1 to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. If the demonstration technologies operate as expected, combined emissions from the Healy site would increase by only about 8% but electrical generation would triple. The Agreement is a ''win/win'' outcome: DOE can demonstrate the new technologies, AIDEA can build a new power plant for GVEA to operate, and DOE can safeguard the pristine environment DNPP.

Book Description
Coal has long been the major fossil fuel used to produce electricity. However, coal-fired electric power plants are one of the largest sources of air pollution in the United States, with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from burning of fossil fuels believed to be the major contributor to global climate change. Regulations under development at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would impose new requirements on fossil-fuelled (mostly coal-fired) power plants (CFPPs) to control GHG emissions. This book focuses on efficiency improvements to power plants, and discusses retrofits, technologies, and other modifications to facility operations which offer the potential to improve power plant efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

Book Description
Coal-fired power plants are expected to continue to account for a significant share in the Philippines' energy mix until 2020 despite strong headwinds from government and civil society. Although the country will continue to exploit alternative energy sources, fossil it will still continue to attract emerging markets to invest on coal projects. The Proposed coal fired power plant in La Union is not an exemption. Even though a lot of environmental groups are opposing to it, it's construction is still inevitable. This development will eventually lead to destruction of the natural setting of the site and will cause numerous negative environmental and social impacts. Regenerative Design describes processes that restore, renew or revitalize their own sources of energy and materials. By integrating regenerative design through architecture, the coal power plant will be boosted to a more positive paradigm. The aim of this study is to explore the possibilities of Regenerative Design to mitigate the risks of the proposed coal power plant in La, Union. The goal will be obtained by the following objectives. (1) To identify the negative environmental impacts of the proposed coal power plant in Luna, La Union. (2) To integrate Regenerative Design in mitigating the environmental risks gathered (3) To provide design strategies that promote a regenerative and ecological coal power plant. This thesis proposal is project based and shall be analyzed through a collaborative research between the relationship of the systems and planning of a coal power plant to its environment. Data shall be gathered through site observation, related literature reviews, site observation, scientifically proven studies, and comparative analysis of successful case studies gathered.
