Lignite and sub-bituminous coal make up about 1/2 of coal resources, but their use is confined. It is important to develop the use technology of these low grade coals as a future energy source while a supply of good-quality bituminous coal becomes tight. Advanced IGCC was proposed with fluidized bed coal gasifier to overcome this issue and to achieve high efficiency. Several types of IGCC systems are compared. Advanced IGCC has can achieve highest efficiency.
