An integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a technology using a high pressure gasifier to turn coal and other carbon based fuels into pressurized gas—synthesis gas . It can then remove impurities from the syngas prior to the electricity generation cycle.
A bus, powered by wood gas generated by a gasifier on a trailer, Leeds, England, c. 1943. The first wood gasifier was apparently built by Gustav Bischof in 1839. The first vehicle powered by wood gas was built by T.H. Parker in 1901. [2] Around 1900, many cities delivered fuel gases (centrally produced, typically from coal) to residences.
Off-grid and mini-grid systems based on renewable energy, such as small solar PV installations that generate and store enough electricity for a village, are important solutions. [162] Wider access to reliable electricity would lead to less use of kerosene lighting and diesel generators, which are currently common in the developing world.
