The Canadian Institute's 7th Annual

Coal Symposium

Case Studies, New Technologies, Current Projects and Critical Issues Facing the Coal Fired Power Generation Industry Today

Monday, November 08 to Tuesday, November 09, 2010
Fairmont Palliser Hotel, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

For many Canadians, coal is a four letter word that fuels controversy and ignites opposition. But given the abundance of coal reserves, it is still considered an integral part of the energy portfolio and a reliable source of electricity.

Without question, coal needs to be cleaned up and emissions must be reduced to comply with increasingly stringent regulations. However, many questions remain as to how the industry will meet the challenge to comply with these new regulations and still provide power that is both clean and cost-effective. In a globally competitive market, can coal really be abandoned as a source of fuel? What is the future of coal-fired power in Canada?

The 7th Annual Coal Symposium will explore new emission reducing technologies, case studies featuring clean coal in action and will enlist the knowledge of a roster of leading national and international experts. This important annual event will delve into some of the most critical issues and offer solutions to some of the biggest challenges in the coal industry today.

Highlights from this event include:

  • Dave Butler, the new Director of the Canadian Clean Power Coalition examining some of the specific challenges that the coal industry is facing
  • Monte Atwell, General Manager of GE Power and Water discussing what GE technologies are being implemented at Duke Energy’s Edwardsport IGCC plant in Indiana
  • Des Dillon of EPRI sharing the highly anticipated study which will determine the thermal and economic impact of retrofitting coal plants
  • And More!

At such a significant time for the coal-fired power generation industry, you can’t afford to miss the 7th Annual Coal Symposium. Be there and get the critical information you need to build a business plan and guide your organization through the changing coal landscape.
