Coal-based integrated gasification combined cycle power plants

Figure 2.4 Availability of coal-based integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants (data adapted from Ref. [36]).

FIG. C-15 Process scheme for a coal-based IGCC (integrated gasification combined cycle) power plant with shift (conversion of CO to CO2) and CO2 capture upstream of the gas turbine combustion chamber. (Source tfettenfall Utveckling AB.)... 

Total installation costs depends on type of plant and its complexity 80% is a correct figure for power plants with CO2 capture or coal based plant as Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles for Natural Gas Combined Cycles, this coefficient decreases to 68%.
