Coal-based Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) are two leading technologies that have recently been proven and demonstrated in commercial sizes in the US Doe and industry sponsored research and development programs in the US. Two case studies are being considered. One such case study is in a 300MWe coal-fired power generation with district heat production application in Latvia, where the use of CFBC technology is most likely to be selected in the isolated and remote operations where coal waste and indigenous renewable energy feedstock is available. The other case study is in China where IGCC may be the technology of choice in which the trigeneration of electricity, chemicals and steam can be better addressed by the use of Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle technology. A case study for each of these technologies will be presented in order to address the industrial advantages of each cogeneration mode specific technology application. It is suggested in this paper that the best utilization of coal resources in a total plant configuration for co-producing electricity, steam, fuel gas and syngas can serve as the feedstock to produce various liquid chemicals that can be achieved through use of these advanced power cogeneration technologies.
