The 1st IEA Clean Coal Centre Workshop on Advanced Ultra-Supercritical Coal-fired power plants was held on 19-20 September 2012 in Vienna, Austria.

The workshop focused on materials testing and plant design for the highest possible plant efficiencies. Development work is ongoing in China, Europe, India, Japan and the USA where there are plans to design and build demonstration plants over the coming years. This first workshop brought together those with a common interest in the research and development necessary to bring such plants to fruition. The workshop was hosted by EVN in Vienna, Austria and was organised by IEA Clean Coal Centre in cooperation with the VGB, Germany.

The 2nd A-USC Workshop will be held in 2014.
