6 Why coal fired p? Stability of price /1,000kcal Trend of the prices of fossil fuel in Japan (Imported prices: all are imported in Japan) Steam coal LNG Crude oil until August, 2009 Source: Ministry of Finance / Trade Statistics of Japan Coal price is expected to be stable, compared with other fossil fuel prices. 6 Copyright Clean Coal P R&D Co., Ltd

7 Why coal fired p? 3E-concept for energy utilization - Relation between energy mix and coal utilization - Reduction in in SOx, NOx, Particulate and and CO2 emissions. Use of of existent air air pollution control technologies(desulfurization facility, denitrification facility, electric precipitator) CO2 reduction technology is is expected to to advance. Advances of of the the technology in in the the future has has already been incorporated. Environmental Protection The balanced achievement of these 3E-concept is important. Energy Security Economic Growth Increase of of kinds of of usable coal Use of of low low rank coals Use of of CO2 free fuel fuel coal fired p with biomass fuel fuel Highly effective energy utilization Improvement of of existing p station facilities and improvement of of efficiency by optimization of of operation would be expected. Replacement of of existing superannuation facilities with highly effective facilities Development of of highly effective technology for coal utilization. 7 Copyright Clean Coal P R&D Co., Ltd

8 Technical issues to respond to expectation of coal utilization Development of clean coal p technology The expectation for coal use for the future is great. Technological development to respond to the expectation is to be achieved Environmental Protection technology compatible with Economic Growth Reduction in CO2 emission 0.10 Method1: Improvement of thermal efficiency 0.05 Combustion technology (USC, A-USC) Coal gasification technology 0.00 (IGCC,( IGFC * )) *IGCC with fuel cell Method2: CO2 capture and storage CO2 capture technology (pre-combustion + conventional plant or IGCC) and (post-combustion + conventional plant), etc. CO2 storage technology could be applied to all the fossil fuel Energy Security IGCC is an effective option to solve the technical issues realize 3E concept.

11 IGCC technology : Increase in kinds of coal Billion tons North America Amount of coal that can be used For IGCC For PCF China India Australia South Africa (example in Japan) PCF : Pulverized Coal Firing Indonesia Low rank coal use could be increased because IGCC utilizes different type of coals. Biomass fuel can be also used for IGCC. 11 Copyright Clean Coal P R&D Co., Ltd

12 Relation between CO2 capture technology and IGCC CO2 capture technology pre-combustion type and post-combustion type, etc. IGCC applying pre-combustion technology could compensate the thermal efficiency decrease caused by CO2 capture, because of the high efficiency p generation. Although effectiveness should be studied, application of post-combustion type might be possible. It would depend on technological development in the future what type of CO2 capture technology is the best for IGCC. Moreover, highly effective and zero emission p generation would be achieved by combining IGFC (IGCC with fuel cell) with CCS by application of pre-combustion technology. It would be matter for long-term technological development 12 Copyright Clean Coal P R&D Co., Ltd

13 Introduction : Fundamental concept of IGCC System IGCC: Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle IGCC is a new p generation system aiming at higher efficiency than conventional coal-fired systems by integrated coal gasification with combined cycle p generation technology.

14 Introduction : Gasification technology Coal with low ash melting temperature hardly used in conventional stations, could be used in IGCC. Low rank coal and biomass fuel could be also usable. Volume of waste is reduced by half in IGCC, compared with conventional stations becasue coal ash is discharged from the gasifier as glassy slag. Solid fuel + Air Gasifier Reaction for Gasification C + CO2 = 2CO C + H2O = CO + H2 CO + H2O = CO2 + H2 CO,H2 rich gas CO H2 NH H 2 S 3 HCl Slag Copyright Clean Coal P R&D Co., Ltd N 2 14
