Integrated coal Gasification Combined Cycle system (IGCC) is higher thermal efficiency, since the system does combined power generation with product gas from gasifier. In Japan, the development of IGCC with the air-blown gasifier is being executed by electric power companies jointly. IGCC Demonstration Project is being promoted so as to demonstrate the reliability, durability and economical competitiveness as final step to commercialize. The project is being conducted by Clean Coal Power R&D Co., Ltd. (CCP). The fund and personnel for CCP are contributed by nine regional electric power companies, J-POWER, and CRIEPI. The EPC contract of the entire plant was ordered to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI). Our demonstration test has been proceeded almost on schedule. Various findings for commercial IGCC plant were obtained through these operation tests.
