Integrated gasification combined-cycle

  • Renewable Energy: NCF

    NCF develops a system that dissociates CO2 and H2O into Syngas and Oxygen using concentrated solar energy. The obtained syngas is then converted into liquid fuels or methanol an excellent alternative fuel and the one of the building block in many chemical processes. The oxygen can be used for clean fuel combustion. The system is self-contained extracting all necessary energy for the process from the solar energy. Eventually the product will be in the form of large plants installed in high solar radiation areas producing hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel per year.

  • A resource and technology assessment of coal utilisation in India

    Publication date
    Objective
    Adaptation

    Forming part of a wider series, this paper explores strategies for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal-powered electricity. It reviews coal utilisation in India and examines current and emerging coal power technologies with near- and long-term potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from coal power generation. Key points highlighted include:

  • Computer -Based Tools to Estimate RE Production and GHG Reductions from Biodigestion of Animal Waste

    Introduces the principles, functions and benefits of a web-based tool enabling small and medium-sized farms to estimate biogas and electricity production, carbon emission reduction and financial viability resulting from installation of a biodigester and electricity generation facility in the farm. Further, it discussed the available financing options for such measures and introduces the results from field trials of the tool.

    Mitigation

    Coal gasification technology, often referred to as Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), is the process of gasifying coal to produce electricity. The coal is gasified by burning finely-crushed coal in an environment with less than half the amount of oxygen needed to fully burn the coal. Essentially, the coal is not burned directly but undergoes a reaction with oxygen and steam. This produces what is known as synthetic gas or “syngas.” This gas is then combusted in a combined cycle generator to produce electricity.

  • Black Liquor Gasification

    Publication date
    Objective
    Mitigation

    This article explains the basics of black liquor gasification in the pulp and paper industry. Black liquor, which accounts for most of the fuel consumed in Kraft mills, is usually combusted in recovery boilers to recover chemicals and to produce process steam and on-site electricity (via a steam turbine). The efficiency of such boilers is, however, low (around 65%-70%). Black liquor gasification is a process in which a clean synthesis gas (syngas) is produced from black liquor by converting its biomass content into a gaseous energy carrier.
