The CO2 Separation and Recovery Plant is being established to
demonstrate an innovative CO2 capture technology in the coal
gasification process which J-POWER is implementing in collaboration with
New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
This Plant will incorporate a high pressure process in the
next-generation of advanced IGCC*1 using a 1,500ºC+ gas
turbine, and will be the first in Japan to adopt the physical absorption
method for the coal gasification process.
Chiyoda is taking this opportunity to enhance and develop its clean coal
technology to maximize efficiency, as well as utilising CCS*2
technologies to provide a system that comprehensively encompasses coal
gasification, power generation, products manufacturing and CCS which, by
practicing its Carbon Lifecycle Engineering, will contribute to a low
carbon society.
*1 IGCC (Integrated coal Gasification Combined Cycle) system
which, through the coal gasification coupled with a combined cycle
process is designed to provide a higher efficiency system than that of
conventional coal-fired power generation.
*2 CCS: Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage
