Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is technology which incorporates Coal Gasification, gas turbines and steam turbines to produce electricity very efficiently. Coal Gasification converts a coal, a solid fuel source into a gaseous combustable and fires the gas in a regular gas turbine. Hot exhaust gases from the turbine are passed through a heat exchange unit to produce steam which in turn drives a conventional steam turbine.
