DOE, RTI to Design and Build Coal Syngas Cleanup System for IGCC Power Plants to Reduce Cost of Removing Contaminants, Capturing CO2; Potential for Synthetic Chemicals and Fuels

Green Car Congress

In integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants, coal-derived syngas—a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen—is used to fuel a combustion turbine for the production of electricity. In 2008, RTI International and Eastman Chemical Company agreed to develop and commercialize jointly developed syngas cleanup technology.
