The growing need to reduce carbon emissions as well as improve the operating efficiency of the power plant has led to the widespread adoption of supercritical boilers. This technology provides high steam temperature and improved pressure parameters to achieve the desired efficiency of the power plant. Low fuel consumption is a direct consequence of installing efficient systems such as supercritical boilers, which in turn leads to increased profitability margins and better utilization of resources. Despite of the environmental concerns the need for coal as a source of power generation is continuously increasing at a steady pace. The demand for high-efficiency pulverized coal supercritical boilers, which reduces carbon emissions, is increasing as a result of the environmental concerns. Current market conditions demand highly efficient systems which are designed for rapid response times. Supercritical boilers have the ability to respond and adjust to market conditions which makes these systems important. The rapid industrialization and government development programmes will accelerate the market growth of supercritical boilers in developing economies, in the future.

Electricity is capable of being generated either centrally, or at different locations based on the requirement of the geographical location, demand or type of use. Most countries generate electricity in large centralized facilities, using fossil fuels, such as coal, gas, nuclear, large solar power plants or hydropower plants. These plants have excellent economies of scale, but usually transmit electricity over long distances and can negatively affect the environment. Distributed generation allows collection of energy from many sources and may give lower environmental impacts and improved security of supply. Historically, central plants have been an integral part of the electric grid, in which large generating facilities are specifically located either close to resources or otherwise located far from populated load centers. These, in turn, supply the traditional transmission and distribution (T&D) grid that distributes bulk power to load centers and from there to consumers. These were developed when the costs of transporting fuel and integrating generating technologies into populated areas far exceeded the cost of developing T&D facilities and tariffs. Central plants are usually designed to take advantage of available economies of scale in a site-specific manner, and are built as "one-off," custom projects.
