Technology:
Clean Coal Power R and D will start the commercial operations of its integrated gasification
combined cycle (IGCC) system next April. Its IGCC system is more efficient than
the conventional thermal power generation system. The company has been
conducting the substantiative experiment of this system since September 2007,
and it is scheduled to finish it next March on schedule. The demonstration unit
will be converted to a commercial unit.
The power generated
by the demonstration unit is being sold to Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)
and will continue to be sold to TEPCO after the commercial operations starts.
IGCC runs the gas turbine with the gas created by burning coals and the steam
turbine with steam created by exhaust heat. It has higher generation efficiency
than the conventional coal-fired thermal power, and it reduces carbon oxide
emissions by 20%. Please click here
