The OCC is organized into nine technology programs. The OCC Advanced Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (AIGCC) technology program is administered by the DOE Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). The mission of AIGCC includes the following: Lead research and development (R&D) efforts to enhance the performance of gasification systems, thus enabling U.S. industry to improve the competitiveness of gasification-based processes. The gasification program will reduce capital investment, improve the process environmental performance, and increase process reliability and flexibility. By 2010, develop advanced gasification combined-cycle technologies that can produce electricity from coal at 45-47 percent efficiency based on a higher heating value (HHV) at a capital cost of $1,600 per kilowatt (kW), in constant 2007 dollars. By 2015, gasification technology will be integrated at pilot-scale with CO2 separation, capture and sequestration into near-zero atmospheric emissions configurations that can ultimately provide electricity with less than a 10 percent increase in cost of electricity (COE). In compliance with requirements from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), DOE and NETL are fully committed to improving the quality of research projects in their programs. To aid this effort, DOE and NETL conducted a FY 2010 Advanced Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (AIGCC) Peer Review Meeting with independent technical experts to assess ongoing research projects and, where applicable, to make recommendations for individual project improvement. In cooperation with Technology & Management Services Inc., the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) convened a panel of seven leading academic and industry experts on December 7–11, 2009 to conduct a five-day Peer Review of selected AIGCC research projects supported by NETL.
