Innovative Zero-emission Coal Gasification Power Generation Project

In our study, we conducted an in-depth feasibility study to comprehensively evaluate a total system from coal gasification power generation to CO2 capture. This feasibility study was conducted to examine multiple candidate sites for matching CO2 sources and storage sites. The project is being carried out to clarify the role of zero-emission coal gasification power plant-based clean coal technology in achieving Cool Earth 50 targets, with consideration to the impact on energy supply and demand in the future. In addition, the project aims to support the efficient implementation of measures toward the introduction and dissemination of zero-emission coal gasification power plants in Japan through a strategic discussion that incorporates the latest research findings.
