Since April 2012, Osaki CoolGen Project has been being conducted as an ”Integrated coal Gasification Fuel Cell combined cycle (IGFC) demonstration project” with the support of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (until 2015 FY), and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (from 2016 FY). This project consists of the following three steps. In the Step 1, oxygen blown IGCC (Integrated coal Gasification Combined Cycle) was demonstrated. In the Step 2, IGCC with CO2 capture is being demonstrated. In the Step 3, IGFC with CO2 capture will be demonstrated. Demonstration of the Step 1 was conducted from March 2017 to February 2019. Development targets of plant efficiency, environmental performance, reliability, operability, coal variety compatibility and economic efficiency were achieved. This paper describes progress of Osaki CoolGen Project.
