Abstract
The EAGLE pilot plant test of the coal processing amount 150tons a day has been executed as a joint research of EPDC (Electric Power Development Co., Ltd.) and NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) since fiscal year 1995. Coal gasification is a key technology of a super-high efficiency power generation system, such as IGCC (Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle) or IGFC (Integrated Coal Gasification Fuel Cell Combined Cycle). In addition, this system is suitable for CCS (carbon capture and storage) technology. This paper describes the development status of the EAGLE technology based on more than 5500 hours operation..
