Innovative Zero-emission Coal Gasification Power Generation Project

Zero Emission Coal Power, a New Concept

The Zero Emission Coal Alliance (ZECA) is developing an integrated zero emission process that will generate clean energy carriers (electricity or hydrogen) from coal. The process exothermically gasifies coal using hydrogen to produce a methane rich intermediate state. The methane is subsequently reformed using water and a CaO based sorbent. The sorbent supplies the energy needed to drive the re...

Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project: A DOE Assessment

OPERATING EXPERIENCE AT THE WABASH RIVER COAL GASIFICATION REPOWERING PROJECT 1998 Gasification Technologies Conference

The Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project (WRCGRP), a joint venture between Dynegy Power Corp., and PSI Energy, Inc., began commercial operation in November of 1995. The Project, selected by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) under the Clean Coal Program (Round IV) represents the largest operating coal-gasification combined-cycle plant in the world. This demonstration proj...
