“Over the past year we have held steady in our belief that Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) holds the most promise for future coal use in Texas. Today’s announcement that TXU has started the planning process and is investigating two IGCC plants with carbon capture and storage in Texas is another step in the right direction and directly contradicts the inaccurate claim that IGCC is not a feasible alternative here.
“The days of old, dirty fired coal plants are over. As America moves into a low-carbon future, this is a great example of the kind of technology we would like to see companies explore.”
