Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle : Power Generation Technology for a Low Carbon Environment
Summary
Global awareness and concern regarding the increase in green house gas emissions has resulted in the development of new technologies with lower emissions, as well as technologies that enable the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) systems have proved to be very promising in existing fossil fuelled electric power generation plants. They have paved the way for the increased use of secure domestic fuel supplies, simultaneously reducing dependency on foreign fuel sources and immensely reducing the negative environmental impact with which coal has been associated. The process, involving clean and efficient combustion, not only facilitates the use of abundant coal supplies in an environmentally responsible way, but also provides improved national security along with a stable energy supply to support economic growth. No single solution is likely to be found for the energy supply problems. However, advanced concepts such as IGCC can give the energy sector a selection of solutions for environmentally friendly energy production.
