This is also a simple example of some of the clean coal technologies - Often refered to as IGCC or "Integrated Gassification Combined Cycle" Yes i spelled that totally wrong...
Partially burn the coal clean up the by products - then run the "Syn Gas" through a combined cycle gas turbine. Benifits include using coal in a Cleaner Process - you are able to capture much more of the pollutants in the fuel because the initial burn is in a closed system ( instead of the large boiler).
Very neat idea...
