Feasibility and status of coal gasification combined cycle plant in Japan
- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Nishi-ku Yokohama (Japan)
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is regarded as the most powerful candidate for new coal firing power plant in the next generation, because of the following two points: it has a significantly high net thermal efficiency of 46-50+% which can be achieved by increasing the gas turbine inlet temperature, and it maintains superior environmental performance attained by means of a conversion process from {open_quotes}dirty{close_quotes} coal to {open_quotes}clean{close_quotes} purified gas and the disposal of glassy slag ash. IGCC R&D in JAPAN is being carried out as a part of the {open_quotes}Sunshine Project{close_quotes}, a national project concerned with promoting the use of new energies. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) had started the IGCC R&D project in 1974, to focus on a fluidized bed coal gasifiers. In 1986, MITI commissioned the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to restart an IGCC R&D project using an air blown entrained bed coal gasifier at the NAKOSO 200 ton/day pilot plant, the over all plant project schedule.
