INTRODUCTION
Proposed Worldwide (non-U.S.) Gasification Projects Having Commercial Potential
Welcome to the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) / National Energy
Technology Laboratory (NETL) Gasification Database. This Database tracks proposed
gasification projects outside of the United States (U.S.) with approximate outputs greater
than 100 megawatts electricity (MWe) or equivalent size for other products. Projects are
categorized as either "Active," recently "Delayed/Cancelled," or "Other." The "Other" category
is defined as projects that have been announced, but for which data are limited. Only non-
domestic, proposed projects are included; currently operating projects are excluded. This
Database presents factual rather than interpretive information. For those instances where
The data presented herein has been sourced from: publicly available information and
internal information approved for public release.
Every attempt is made to keep sources updated and accurate. However, if a source or link is
found to be invalid, or if you have information that you would like to have included in this

Proposed Worldwide (non-U.S.) Gasification Projects Having Commercial Potential
This report is intended to provide an overview of proposed new gasification
plants that are under development. This report may not represent all possible
plants under consideration but is intended to illustrate the potential that exists
for installation of new International gasification plants.
The Department of Energy does not warrant the accuracy or suitability of
this information.
Experience has shown that public announcements of gasification plant
developments do not provide an accurate representation of eventually
commissioned gasification plants. Actual plant capacity commissioned has
historically been significantly less than new capacity announced.
The report focuses on those gasification projects that have achieved significant
progress toward completion, to provide a more accurate assessment of the ability
of this segment of the power generation industry to support demand for new

Not identified. In late February 2014, is was decided that planning on the Ajos BTL Project would be put on hold by the Board
of Directors of Vapo Oy. The board stated that a lack of both operational partners (Metsaliitto withdrew from the
project in 2012) and financial backing, particularly in light of recent EU climate and energy strategies released in
January 2014, particularly those related to biodiesel, which would have been the plants main product.

Sinopec China February-14 Sinopec Engineering Group China, Uxin Banner, Inner
Mongolia
CTC 3.6 million tonnes/year olefins, mostly ethylene $3.1 billion A - Active Not identified. Sinopec Engineering Group has entered into an agreement to develop a coal to olefins plant in northern China.
The $3.1 billion deal will produce approximately 3.6 million tonnes per year of olefins. The plant will be built in
Inner Mongolia and will be owned and operated by Zhong Tian He Chuang Co. Ltd., a joint venture that includes
Sinopec Corp and China Coal energy Company as main investors. The project is expected to be commercial in
late 2015.

Taen IGCC Power Plant October-13 Korea Western Power Co (KOWEPO) and Doosan
Heavy Industries & Construction
South Korea, Taen IGCC 300 MW TBD A - Active Not identified. The Taen IGCC Power Plant will be the first coal-fired IGCC plant in Korea, which, with economic success, will
support the plan for 15 IGCC plants producing up to 10GW of power by 2020. Loesche is supplying the coal
milling and drying equipment. GE will supply a 7F Syngas Turbine, a D11 steam turbine, a heat recovery steam
generator and a cyber security-featured Mark VIe integrated control system (ICS) that will run the power island
control system for the new plant.

Tees Valley Renewable Energy Facility November-13 Air Products, Inc., AlterNRG U.K.Teesside/Billingham, WTE 100MW (two of four planned for the UK, Total =
200 MW)
$500 million (First project only) Second project
cost unknown but likely similar
A - Active Not identified. The 100 MW facility will process between 600,000 - 700,000 tonnes of waste per year, generating enough
electricity to power up to 100,000 homes. the first project is nearing completion of construction with an
anticipated commercial operation date in 2014. The Westinghouse Plasma gasifier was delivered to the project
site on May 12, 2013 and is considered on of the largest in the world. A second of four projects is presently in
the equipment procurment phase after receiving approval via a PPA with the UK government. The second
project will also utilize a Westinghouse Plasma gasifier similar to the unit used for the first project.

Tian Ming TRIG plant June-13 Dongguan Tian Ming Electric Power Co., Ltd China, Guangdon Province SNG SNG for 120 MW IGCC TBD A - Active Not identified. The Tian Ming plant is licensed to use the Transport Integrated Gasification technology (TRIG) to turn low-rank
coal into syngas for use in an IGCC. The original plan was for the plant to be operational in 2011-2012, but
project delays changed the estimated operating schedule to be bumped to 2014-2015.

Ukraine SNG Project April-14 Naftogaz Ukraine, Lugansk SNG TBD - (plans are to replace 4 billion standard
cubic meters of natural gas per year imported
from Russia)
TBD A - Active Not identified. A feasibility study is presently underway regarding the construction of a SNG from coal plant in the Luhansk
region. This is expected to be complete by May 2014 with the first phase of construction expected to begin
sometime in 2015. The state oil and gas company Naftogaz signed the USD 3.656 billion credit agreement with
the state-owned China Development Bank to finance the program of substituting natural gas with locally
produced coal. The program is aimed at improving Ukraine's energy security and alleviating dependence on
foreign natural gas. The contract, guaranteed by the Ukrainian government, stipulates implementation of four
separate investment projects, which are to transfer national thermal energy production facilities to using coal-
water fuel, and build five coal gasification plants. If successful the project will allow the replacement of about four
billion cubic meters of natural gas with coal, create 2,020 jobs, help Ukraine save an average of USD 1.5 billion
annually and stimulate the production of 10 million tons of domestic coal per year.

Vaskiluodon Voima Oy April-13 Metso Corporation Vaasa, Finland BTG 140 MW TBD A - Active CO2 emissions for the area will be reduced by 230,000 tonnes per
year
The technology of the new plant is based on Metso's long-term development work. Metso's delivery included fuel
handling, a large-scale dryer and a circulating fluidized bed gasifier, modification work on the existing coal boiler
and a Metso DNA automation system. The bio-gasification plant was constructed as part of the existing coal-fired
power plant, and the produced gas will be combusted along with coal in the existing coal boiler. 'The operational
experiences so far indicate that the 140-MW bio-gasification plant functions as planned, and the produced gas
burns cleanly in the coal boiler and reduces emissions,' says Mauri Blomberg, Managing Director, Vaskiluodon
Voima.
04/16/2013: The plant has been officially inaugurated and put into operation.
