Mild Airblown Gasification Integrated Combined Cycle (MaGIC~(?)) for retrofitting existing coalplants

摘要

The paper describes the continued development of the IGCC known as MaGIC~(?)(for "Mild Airblown Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle.) The technology's main application is to retrofit existing steamplants by converting them into IGCCs in order to increase their generating capacity while also eliminating their carbon dioxide emissions. The power from the new system, including the carbon capture, is expected to cost less than the power from a new pulverized coal plant without it. The potential effect of this on the fight against global warming is discussed in a separate paper at this conference.
