In 1990 the electricity in the Netherlands will be generated for more than 50% with coal as fuel. Fireside corrosion causes a minor, but from an economic point of view not negligible, contribution to unforseen plant unavailability. Measures are taken concerning materials, additives and coal blending. Around 1980 heavy oil had an essential (40%) part in the power generation: experiences with corrosion and additives from that period are summarized. Research has been carried out with new coextruded materials under severe corrosion conditions in order to improve the overall unit efficiency. Creep tests at elevated temperatures have been performed in connection to this. Furthermore research is going on concerning the effects of low NO x burning techniques (on the corrosion behaviour of waterwall tubes) and in the field of IGCC‐plants.
