South Korea-based Alps Energy had signed a letter of intent with Southern Co. and Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) to explore the deployment of transport integrated gasification (TRIG) technology at a new 1,000-megawatt Alps Energy power plant in South Korea. The TRIG tech, developed by Southern and KBR, is undergoing testing at the Kemper County Energy Facility in Mississippi. The technology helps to use low-rank coal for electricity generation with carbon emissions roughly equal to that of natural gas energy production.
“We very much look forward to seeing successful initial operations of the Kemper County energy facility and to explore various opportunities to work together with the TRIG™ team in our landmark gasification project in Saemangeum," Alps Group Chairman Kwang-Ouk Bang said in a release.
