Mitigation Approach
To stabilize GHG at 550ppm, GHG needs to be cut by 80% from today’s level.
No one single technology can achieve this reduction. Mitigation has to be achieved in all sectors.
GHG can be cut in 4 ways: – Increased efficiency– Reducing demand– Action on non-energy emissions– Switch to low-carbon technologies

IGCC
Clean coal technology – coal gasification and combined cycle.
Coal gasification – coal is partially combusted with oxygen and steam to produce syngas. The syngas then is cleaned before entering gas turbine.
Combine cycle – syngas drive gas turbine first, the residual heat then make steam which drive steam turbine. Consume less fuel per kWhr.
