Integrated coal gasification fuel cell combined power generation technology (IGFC), whose power efficiency can exceed 60% without considering cogeneration, is a new clean and efficient power generation technology of coal-based. Moreover, it can effectively control the emission of pollutants,  create conditions for the capture and recovery of CO2, and realize near zero emission of CO2. IGFC system is generally composed of coal gasification & purification, fuel cell power generation, waste heat recovery, CO2 capture and storage and other subsystems. Fuel cell power generation technology is the key technology that restricts the development of IGFC. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) are both of the fuel cell technologies suitable for IGFC system. SOFC has more advantages in cost of production and power generation efficiency. In 2017, China Energy Group, together with China University of mining and Technology-Beijing, National Institute of Clean-and-Low-Carbon Energy, China Huaneng Group Clean Energy Research Institute and Tsinghua University, undertook the National Key R&D Program of China, which includes the development of 100 kW SOFC and MCFC power generation units, and the building of MWth IGFC demonstration project with near zero CO2 emission. The project achievements have promoted the pace of China′s IGFC system from basic technology R&D to industrialization.
