Syngas from power plants

Coal gasification units offer unique flexibility in that the syngas can also be chemically converted to liquid fuels for use in transportation (coal liquefaction). Alternatively the hydrogen can be refined from the synthesis gas to produce hydrogen fuel. An integrated combined cycle (IGCC) power plant could be used for electric power production during peak demand times and then shifted to liquid fuel production at nonpeak demand times. [Pg.425]

The increased efficiency of the combined cycle for electrical power generation results in a 50% decrease in carbon dioxide emissions compared to conventional coal power plants. As the technology is required to develop economical methods of carbon sequestration, the removal of carbon dioxide from combustion by-products to prevent its release to the atmosphere, coal gasification units could be modified to further reduce their climate change impact because a large part of the carbon dioxide generated can be separated from the syngas before combustion. [Pg.425]
