IGCC and PFC Byproducts: Generation,
Characteristics, and Management Practices
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) contracted with
the EERC to facilitate appropriate regulations for clean coal technologies
(CCT), specifically integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) and
pressurized fluidized-bed combustion (PFBC). The EERC reviewed documentation
and data on IGCC and PFBC and their associated byproducts in order to
meet DOE’s two primary objectives: 1) to familiarize the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) with the DOE CCT program, CCT byproducts, and
the associated efforts by DOE contractors in the area of CCT byproduct
management and 2) to provide information that will facilitate EPA’s effort
by complementing similar reports from industry groups. The resulting report
addressed the issues that EPA needed to review to make regulatory determinations
on the status of fossil fuel combustion wastes.
