High Environmental Performance

With enhanced system efficiency, IGCC lowers SOx, NOx and dust
emissions per kilowatt-hour of electric power generated. It discharges
hot wastewater that is about 30% smaller than the conventional coal-
fired thermal power generation.

While the flue gas desulfurization equipment in conventional coal-

fired thermal power generation required a large amount of water for
treating flue gas after fuel operation, IGCC consumes a much smaller
amount of water because it treats fuel gas that is higher in pressure
and smaller in volume.

Our IGCC Business

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) retains two types of coal gasification technology, namely, air-blown and oxygen-blown technologies, and
leads the world in terms of its technological capabilities. In line with expectations that the need for the IGCC system will increase further due to its
ability to both effectively utilize coal resources and protect the environment, this system has been gaining attention around the world.
