- Abstract
- Conventional combustion has been exploited for power generation purposes since ancient times. Considering all relevant analyses of primary energy consumption, it is obvious that worldwide it will still play a major role in heat generation and will only slowly be replaced in generation of electricity. Despite unpreceded breakthroughs, growing capacity and large success of environmentally more acceptable technologies in terms of global warming potential as well as their growing share in the primary energy consumption, relevant analyses do not predict a significant midterm decrease of combustion-generated energy (International Energy Agency, 2019). In this view, the main scientific focus should be the development of clean combustion approaches which are, emission wise, on par or even supersede currently available renewable energy technologies.
