TCEP will be an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) 400 MW power/poly-gen plant that will capture 90% of the carbon dioxide, 99% of the sulfur, more than 95% of the mercury, and eliminate more than 90% of the nitrogen oxides produced by the process. Ultimately, some 99% of the injected CO 2 can be permanently stored (i.e.
