This paper presents the results of experimental research into the component composition of gases and ash residue from the combustion of a set of high-potential coal-water slurries containing petrochemicals. We have established that the use of slurry fuels provides a decrease in the CO₂, CH₄, SO₂, and NOₓ concentrations as compared to those from coal combustion. The content of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the gas environment from the combustion of slurries is higher due to the intense water evaporation. It is shown that adding biomass allows a further 5–33% reduction in the emissions of nitrogen and sulfur oxides as compared to the coal-water slurry and the composition with added waste turbine oil and a 23–68% decrease as compared to coal (per unit mass of the fuel burnt). The mechanisms and stages of CO₂, SO₂, and NOₓ formation are explained with a view to controlling gaseous anthropogenic emissions and ash buildup. The values of the relative environmental performance indicator are calculated for slurry fuels. It is shown to exceed the same indicator of bituminous coal by 28–56%.
