IGCC is an advanced power generation technology which allows to reduce
emissions of NOx, SO2, and particulate matter and improve
fuel efficiency of coal.
It is a combination of two technologies.
coal gasification, which uses coal to create a clean-burning gas
(syngas).
combined-cycle, which is the most efficient method of producing
electricity from gas commercially available today (a gas turbine
generator generates electricity and the waste heat is used to make steam
to generate additional electricity via a steam turbine).
Power plant using gas produced from high-sulfur coal, heavy petroleum residues
or biomass.
