This report examines the technical feasibility of modifying coal-fired boilers to cofire gas and estimates the capital costs involved in making such modifications. It further discusses the impacts of gas cofiring on operations and maintenance costs and on CO2 emissions rates. Several real-world examples of coal-fired power plants that have completed such projects are showcased, demonstrating the feasibility of high levels of gas cofiring in terms of heat input.
