The role of fossil fuel plant in flexible power generation was the title of the Advanced Power Generation Technologies Forum annual workshop held in London over two days this week. Given the workshop’s strong focus on meeting the UK’s energy challenges, the choice of theme was a timely response to increasing concern over how to manage the increasing amounts of intermittent renewable capacity planned for the country. Following the recent release of the APGTF’s detailed technology strategy for CCS, this long-standing focus of the workshop was also well represented, as well as an emphasis on biomass . . .
