Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Information and Resources

Some of the most exciting talk about coal in years focuses on integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), a process which converts coal into a cleaner burning gas for electricity generation. In advanced coal gasification configurations, carbon—along with other emissions—can be captured from the coal for sequestration or recycled for economically beneficial commercial uses.

One exciting IGCC development is the U.S. FutureGen selection process, a competitive undertaking to site and build a zero-emission IGCC. Power Engineering magazine covers the technical and engineering aspects of IGCC on a regular basis. Cover feature articles in Power Engineering in March 2005 (View article) and July 2006 (View article) provide details. And Power Engineering presents an exclusive interview with FutureGen chairman Michael Mudd in its September 2006 issue. Also look for a July 2006 (View article) feature on the topic in PEI. Plus, you'll find news on IGCC and coal gasification in both magazine's news-focused Startup section and online.

Coal remains the fuel of choice for electricity generation in the U.S. In fact, it is burned in 55% of the nation's electric power plants. In addition to being relatively inexpensive, coal is a popular fuel source because it is readily available in the U.S.--around 24% of the world's total lies within the nation's borders.

Coal Events

One of the best ways to keep current on the latest happenings in coal-fired power generation is to attend COAL-GEN, an annual event that attracts the biggest names in coal to discuss the design, development, upgrading, operation and maintenance of coal power plants.
