Preliminary environmental monitoring results for the Cool Water Coal Gasification Program

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5637945
The electric utility industry's search for an economic and environmentally sound solution to coal combustion to meet future fuel needs and the nation's decision to reduce its dependence on foreign oil and natural gas have led to the development of new coal-based technologies. In 1979, Texaco Inc. and Southern California Edison Co. (SCE) joined to design, construct, and operate an integrated coal gasification/combined cycle (IGCC) facility that would use Texaco's proprietary coal gasification technology. A major goal of CWCGP is to provide comprehensive data on the environmental acceptability of IGCC technology. Monitoring objectives and preliminary results of the CWCGP Environmental Monitoring Program are presented.
