Methane, a major contributor to global warming, is a greenhouse gas emitted from coal mines. Abundance of coal mines and consequently a considerable amount of methane emission requires drastic measures to mitigate harmful effects of coal mining on the environment. One of the commonly adopted...

This paper describes an investigation in the optimisation of a steam turbine CHP (combined heat and power) system under three economic cases resulting from the introduction of a carbon price in Australia: no carbon price (case one); carbon price and not liable (case two); and a carbon price and...

Combined heat and power (CHP) systems due to their high efficiency compared to the conventional power generation systems have received considerable attention as they have less harmful impact on the environment. Recently, the serious concern with reducing the greenhouse gas emissions has focussed...
