The achieve- ment of the above, coupled with the need for significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a challenging task. Cleaner, more efficient fossil fuel based power plant designs, combined with CO2 capture technologies constitute an attractive option to meet this challenge in the near to medium term. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants have the lowest carbon dioxide emissions among coal power plants. When combined with a CO2 physical absorption system, substantial GHG emissions reductions can be attained. Depending on the degree of capture, the emis- sions can match or become less than those of natural gas fired combined cycle (NGCC) power plants. This paper is a technical and economic comparison of the performance of five plant designs in the 500 MW output range: IGCC without CO2 capture, IGCC with 80% capture, IGCC with CO2 emissions equal to those of a NGCC, IGCC with CO and H S co-capture, and NGCC without capt
