==Background==
GreenGen Ltd. Co. China was established by the [[China Huaneng Group]] and seven other Chinese state-owned companies in January 2006Tianjin Jinneng Investment Company. [[Peabody Energy]] joined the consortium in December 2007 as the only non-Chinese participant in the program. The goal of the GreenGen program in Tianjin is to develop a large-scale [[IGCC]]–[[CCS]] demonstration project in China, at an estimated cost of US$1.5 billion. The program is being carried out in three phases.<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><ref>[http://www.hpi.com.cn/_layouts/mobile/dispform.aspx?List=2d82321e-d34c-47e6-82e5-df973d476116&View=4c10619a-1a03-4bd1-bd48-cba3baf04fdd&ID=376 "华能天津IGCC技术创新 路向何方,"] 2014-9-19</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. Construction of the plant began in 2009 and was completed in 2012.<ref name=gccs>[http://www.globalccsinstitute.com/project/huaneng-greengen-igcc-project-phase-3 "Huaneng GreenGen IGCC Project (Phase 3),"] Global CCS Institute, accessed December 2014</ref>
