integrated gasification combined cycle (igcc)
Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a highly efficient power generation technology that converts coal or other solid carbon-based fuels into synthetic gas (syngas). The syngas is then cleaned and burned in a gas turbine, and the waste heat is captured to produce steam, which drives a steam turbine. This process enables the production of electricity while minimizing emissions and maximizing fuel flexibility.
