Klean Coal Inc

kleancoal is an integrated gasification combined cycle (igcc) technology company that turns coal into synthesis gas (syngas), clean liquid fuels and new jobs. as the name suggests, "klean coal" uses clean coal technology (cct) that are being used to developed new energy projects to reduce the environmental footprint of coal. most of coal's impact occurs at the consumption end - power generation and cement manufacturing. klean coal uses gasification technologies which avoid burning coal altogether. with integrated gasification combined cycle (igcc) systems, steam and hot pressurized air or oxygen combine with coal in a reaction that forces carbon molecules apart. the resulting syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is then cleaned and burned in a gas turbine to make electricity. the heat energy from the gas turbine also powers a steam turbine. since igcc power plants create two forms of energy, they have the potential to reach a fuel efficiency of 50 percent
