Efficient pollutant removal

Pre-Combustion PM, Hg, Su

Pulverized coal

• Pollutants are removed after the coal is burned

• The gas volume treated is 300 times the gas volume of an IGCC plant

• Criteria and HAPS emissions are above an average IGCC plant

• Combustion produces large quantities of waste and consumes more water than IGCC

IGCC

• Gasification cleans the syngas before combustion

• High pressure and low volume provide favorable economics for pollutant removal

• IGCC offers increased fuel diversity, reduced emissions, and increased siting and permitting flexibility

IGCC emissions approach NGCC levels

Sulfur

Lowest permitted sulfur emissions

from a U.S. coal plant today

• Emits 0.01 lb/MMBtu

• Best PC is 0.05 lb/MMBtu

Mercury

Superior, cost-efficient Hg removal

NOX

Lowest NOX permitted plant using

bituminous coals today in the US

• Emits 0.02 lb/MMBtu

• Best PC is 0.05 lb/MMBtu

• 62% less CO • CO2capture ready • 33% less NO_x • 75% less SO_x

IGCC benefits compared to supercritical pulverized coal in the U.S.
