 +====== Coal efficiency ======
 +The data for efficiencies and emissions of the [[coal_more|Coal Power Plants]] with and without [[co2_storage_more_2|CCS]] comes from the NEEDS project. In the report <sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>, there are three different forecasts for each technology and year (2025 or 2050): Pessimistic (PE), Realistic optimistic (RO) and Very optimistic (VO).
 +
 +Next table includes the efficiencies for the different kinds of coal power plants together with the scenarios that have been selected for the years 2035 and 2050 in the calculator.

 +The efficiency of a coal power plant is defined as follows:
 +
 +$\eta = \frac{E^-}{Q^+}$
 +^$\eta$ |Efficiency [%] |
 +^$E^-$ |Electricity produced by the alternator [kWh] |
 +^$Q^+$ |Combustion heat from coal (LHV basis) [kWh] |
