Integrated Gasification Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Process (IGCC)
IGCC technology uses a high-pressure gasifier to turn coal and other carbon-based fuels to synthesis gas or syngas. IGCC can meet stringent air emission standards because the emission forming impurities like sulphur and particulate matters are eliminated from syngas.
▪ It helps in minimizing the CO2 emission and is more environment friendly.
▪ Net efficiency of an IGCC plant is 40%, and the resulting CO2 from the gas turbine plant can be used for EOR.

Super critical CO2 cycle
This is an effective way of converting fossil fuels into mechanical power while capturing the CO2 thus generated, and water. In this process, the gas turbine is effectively used to convert fuel to power. The supercritical CO2 is a more effective turbine working fluid than air or steam. Supercritical CO2 Cycle is an emission free syngas fired power plant which uses syngas as the fuel, and pure oxygen. Nitrogen Oxide emissions are eliminated, and some of eliminated CO2 is re-circulated into the system to control the flame temperature in the combustion chamber. The excess CO2 may be transferred for CO2 capture and sequestration.

Hydrogen fuelled Gas Turbine
As Manufacturers worldwide are adopting EU’s 2050 goal of a climate neutral economy, power generation is experiencing major transformation. Fossil fuels are being increasingly replaced by renewable energy sources. However, the intermittent nature of renewables limits their use for base load power generation.
H2 can play an important role in the energy mix. Coal gasification from H2 rich gas turbines can deliver reliable and clean power with minimal CO2 emissions. H2 can be used as a fuel in gas turbines and CCGTs.
