| Summary: | This report describes work performed as a subcontract to Argonne
National Laboratory's project "Environmental Control Technology for
Generation of Power from Coal." The intention of thatArgonne Program
is to provide an independently developed assessment of alternative
environmental control technologies for coal-fired electric power
generation and to develop an independently evaluated set of recommendations for future environmental control technology research,
development, and demonstration programs for these processes. This
report describes a probabilistic, systems analytic methodology appropriate for use in comparing the alternative control technologies. In
addition to the discussions about this probabilistic framework, there
are examples.of the use of the framework for comparative purposes.
Information is presented on the methods and sources for making these
comparisons on health effects bases, as well as the relevant economic,
technological, availability, resource use, emissions, and ambient-level
information. In addition, there are bibliographies of key references
in the related areas.
