{{stub}}{{CoalSwarm}}The '''GreenGen coal gasification plant''' in Tianjin, China, is a US$1.5 billion [[carbon capture and storage]] project of a consortium of Chinese companies, including China’s state-owned [[Huaneng Group]], with [[Peabody Energy]] of St Louis, Missouri. <ref name=jt>Jeff Tollefson & Richard Van Noorden, [http://www.nature.com/news/slow-progress-to-cleaner-coal-1.10411 "Slow progress to cleaner coal,"] Nature, April 11, 2012.</ref> The first phase is a 250-megawatt [[integrated gasification combined cycle]] power plant, which will convert coal into ‘[[syngas]]’ — a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen — to be burned in specialized turbines to produce electricity. The second phase will be a smaller pilot plant designed to send a "clean" stream of hydrogen through fuel cells and turbines to produce electricity, with carbon dioxide being captured for industrial use. The third phase, scheduled for 2015–20, will be a 400-megawatt power plant with full-scale [[carbon capture and storage]] in underground rock layers. The 2020 goal represents a delay beyond the original completion date of 2015.<ref name=jt>Jeff Tollefson & Richard Van Noorden, [http://www.nature.com/news/slow-progress-to-cleaner-coal-1.10411 "Slow progress to cleaner coal,"] Nature, April 11, 2012.</ref>
GreenGen was originally seen as a follow-up to the US's [[FutureGen]], whose fate is uncertain.<ref name=jt/>
