Jun 06: Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is emerging as a highly efficient and environmentally benign technology for power generation from coal and refinery residue.
8A pathway can be laid for rapid transfer of technology to India
8There are many benefits of gasification and India will stand to benefit from it
8The suggestion is for India to build the first IGCC 100 MW plant to accommodate one train of gasification and power islands. The plant should be extensively instrumented and thoroughly experimented with various coals to develop full indigenous capability for setting up of large-scale plants in India.
8Not just coal but pet coke and refinery residue can be used in IGCC plants
