The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Engineering Research Association for Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle Power Systems (IGCC Association) newly succeeded in the development of an air blown twostage entrained flow coal gasifier and a fixed bed hot and dry gas clean-up system with the achievement of one month stable and continuous operation at 200 tons per day IGCC pilot plant in Nakoso. These technologies were very challenging ones but are theattractive for power generation because of the significantly high thermal efficiency due to free from oxygen making and a few heat loss in the clean-up process. Based on these success, the high performance of the IGCC on the energy effective utilizationand the environmental compatibility have further been enhanced.
