Planned IGCC Power Plant in Pennsylvania Gains Momentum

LCG, December 10, 2010--EmberClear announced Wednesday that all of the necessary permits for the development and construction of the 270-MW, Good Spring Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Project have been received by its joint venture, Future Power PA, Inc. (FPPI). EmberClear expects the Engineering for the Pre-FEED (Front End Engineering and Design) stage of the Good Spring IGCC project will start early next year.

The Good Spring IGCC project will be built in Northeastern Pennsylvania and utilize nearby coal supplies. The plant design and coal gasification process is based upon the GreenGen project in Tianjin, China. The first phase of the GreenGen IGCC plant will have a capacity of 250 MW of power; construction of the GreenGen project began in 2009, with the first phase scheduled for completion by the end of next year.
