چکیده
I am pleased to be here today to share with you our views about the benefits that Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) technology can deliver. IGCC can cost effectively produce power from solid fuels, such as coal, with substantial environmental benefits over other coal power generation technologies. If IGCC is adopted as the preferred coal based power generation technology, it will help the country and our customers meet the environmental goals of reducing NOx, mercury and other air pollutants, while also advancing sound energy policy goals of retaining a secure and diverse mix of fuels for electric power generation and improving the efficiency of coal based power generation.
