Advances in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle system with Carbon Capture and Storage technology

Abstract

China's Energy Consumption is mainly based on coal in a long time and power generation is the primary CO2 emission; so efficient and clean use of coal is the key to solve the low-carbon development. Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is an advanced clean coal power-generation system with the unique superiority of quasi-zero CO2 emission. Based on the description of current IGCC Benchmarking Demonstration Projects, the progresses achieved in the field of IGCC with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology were discussed; the growth area and the challenges faced in IGCC with CCS development and present stage's technical route were uncovered. It is of great strategic significance to research efficient and low consumption new CCS technology under IGCC operating conditions, and develop the combination technical route of IGCC with CCS.
