Comparison of Gasification Combined Cycle Power Plants (IGCC) & Coal

The overall thermal efficiency of the IGCC power plant is almost same with that of an Ultra supercritical coal fired power plant but still less than an Natural Gas fired CC plant. However, it is considerably higher than the conventional coal fired power plants. A part of the CO2 as output of the gasifier can be easily captured.
