Abstract
A second-law analysis is presented to assess the environmental impacts of the simultaneous generation of a fuel gas and electric power from coal. The analysis is based on the life-cycle evolution of exergy cont ained in successive energy carriers involved in the process. The impac t on the environment is quantified in terms of defined indexes of envi ronmental efficiency and hazard. Particular hazards associated with th e process are evaluated and compared for low-and high-sulphur coals. ( C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
