Manufacturers (non-exhaustive list)
The construction of an IGCC plant generally involves three manufacturers, one for each of the main islands: gasifier, combined cycle and air separation unit. Tables 1 ,
Operators
Table 4 shows the main operators of industrial-scale IGCC power plants in operation or under construction worldwide. This list is likely to grow in the near future, as all utilities are likely to equip themselves with IGCC plants, since this is one of the clean coal technologies....
