This report presents the results of work to design and estimate the capital cost of a Carbon Dioxide (CO/sub 2/) Acceptor Coal Gasification plant. This plant is designed to produce 250 billion Btu/day of synthetic natural gas. Plant processes were, in part, optimized and the design is tailored to a specific lignite and plant location in North Dakota. This design was modified for gasification of Texas lignite. Plant operating costs and gas costs were calculated for the North Dakota lignite case and the Texas lignite case. These costs are compared with published data for a Lurgi Coal Gasification Plant.
