IGCC re-started its operation on August 10th and began full out-put operation on 11th.
Since then, the IGCC continued its operation more than one month and the accumulated operation hours reached to 1000 hours on September 21st.
We are still continuing its operation for the moment to conduct the coal diversification test which would utilize some bituminous coal while contributing IGCC supply capacity to the East Japan area where the electric power shortage is still big concern.
We would hopefully share our experiment results in due future.
