1 Perspective on Coal Utilization Technology 21st Annual International Pittsburgh Coal Conference on September, 2004 Naokazu Kimura Director, Wakamatsu Research Institute J-Power/EPDC

2 Agenda - About J-Power/EPDC - Example of CCT Application for New P/S - EAGLE Project Progress Report - Potentiality of Coal Gasification Technology

3 about J-Power/EPDCJ - was established in 1952 based on the Electric Power Development Promotion Law. - has deployed its business along the national policy and constructed many large power stations. - Power Generation Capacity (as of September, 2004) Hydro Power : 8,550.5MW (59 stations) Thermal Power : 7,824.5MW ( 8 stations) - was privatized in October, 2003 based on the abolishing the above law. - New Communication name of EPDC is J-Power.

4 J-Power s s Business Domains Under the key words Environment and Energy - Domestic Power Supply as a Wholesaler - Overseas Power Business including Environmental Protection - New Business creation using New Technology

5 Example of J-Power J CCT application The Newest Power Station in J-Power is Shin-Isogo Power station, which is 600MW PCF plant adopting USC(600/610, 25MPa) and Dry Activated coke desulfurization. This Power Station is located at 40km south from Tokyo, it is watched that it is an urban style coal power station.

6 Shin-Isogo Unit. 1 Coal fired Power Station Requirements for Plant Replacement: - Due to meet required capacity from grid, it was constructed the capacity over twice. - In addition, this plant was constructed under the existed plants operation. - The location is in Yokohama city. It is about 40 km south from Tokyo. - Required Flue gas emission is the same level as LNG. Photo of Shin-Isogo Unit. 1

8 EAGLE Project Origin of the Project Name EAGLE Coal Energy Application for Gas, Liquid & Electricity means Multi-Purpose Gasifier

9 Overview of EAGLE Project Project Objectives - Final Target of the EAGLE Project is to toward IGFC, which is combined with Fuel Cell, GT, and ST. It calls triple combined cycle. - Coal must be converted into an ash-free combustible gas with gasification and clean-up to produce a gaseous handling fuel equivalent to LNG. 1. Development of Oxygen-blown entrained-flow gasifier 2. Establishment of Gas cleanup technology for fuel cells Project Support - METI & NEDO

19 Major Test Items during the Operation period Coal In (March) Gasifier trial operation Full Plant trial operation GT Integration operation Performance Test (Coal A) Coal Flexibility Test (Coal B,C,D,E) Long Run Test for 1,000hrs EAGLE Plant Modification ASU-GT Integration Test

20 Highlights in 2002 & 2003 After the construction of EAGLE pilot plant, we confirmed as follows; - Settled on Basic Operation Manual. - Confirmed that load change rate 8%of ASU was achieved in the dynamic operation test. - Confirmed that we could operate the full plant integration with 100 % plant capacity. - Confirmed high efficient dust removal without filter breaking. - The volume of quench gas was reduced from initial 50% to 30%. - GT was satisfactorily operated with Syngas hrs continuous operation was achieved.

22 Test Schedule of the EAGLE Project (1)The Long Run Test is the most important test item in this year to confirm reliability. We will start the Long Run for 1,000 hrs. soon. (2)Coal flexibility test is also important test item for the design of the next large scale plant. We will test at least 5 kinds of coals including 2 kinds we have already tested. (3)We are planning to examine the possibility of EAGLE gasifier for scale up. One of the tests is that operation condition such as coal injection velocity, etc. will be changed to obtain the design data.

23 Potentiality of coal gasification technology CO2 issue is increasingly getting hot topics, requirement of High Efficiency Technology such as IGCC or IGFC, will be increased in future. It is necessary to proceed CCT program included outlook of CO2 recovery and sequestration as a final target. In this case, Coal Gasification will be Key Technology considering of coal utilization potentiality in future. Coal Gasification is also possible to apply for NH3, GTL, and H2 production, it can be said that the technology expandability is so wide range.
