✦ Synopsis

coal to gas, removing most of the sulfur dioxide and other emissions before the gas is used to fuel a combustion turbine generator. The hot exhaust gases are then used to heat steam, driving a steam turbine generator. The technology uses less water and has fewer emissions than a conventional coal-fired plant with currently required pollution control equipment. Another benefit is the potential to remove mercury and carbon dioxide upstream of the combustion process at a lower cost than conventional plants.
