Coal gasification for electric power generation

Journal Article · · Combustion, v. 45, no. 5, pp. 6-12
OSTI ID:4390154
The ultimate goal of the coal-gasification power system project is the demonstration on a commerical scale of an economic and environmentally acceptable electric generating plant that links a coal-gasification system with a combined- cycle plant adapted for burning low-Btu fuel gas. The development of a small- scale fluidized-bed gasifier is underway, and then the conceptual gasification process will be chosen for final scale-up to prototype size. The research program and its financing are discussed. The time schedules for progress made and the projections into 1981 are presented. (MCW)
