✦ Synopsis
06 Necfrical power supply and utilizatron (scientific, technical) estimate is based mainly on bidding information from competent manufacturers and suggests that the target purchase price of US$llOO per kW installed capacity is likely to be verified in the near future. Consequently, this permits IGCC generating costs significantly lower than those of a comparable advanced PCF steam power plant. In general, this strategy of stepwise replacement of existing PCF stations by advanced IGCC plants is still the most direct measure to reduce CO2 emissions from power generation which neither needs an extra amount of primary fuel nor leaves a CO2 utilization or disposal problem. It rather involves zero additional costs for the CO* avoided and, moreover, offers a power plant process best suited to prevent CO2 from being released into the atmosphere in the most efficient way, if such an extensive means becomes necessary in the future.
