Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating electrical energy utilizing a boiler and a gas turbine powered by a carbonizer. A carbonizer is provided which produces low-Btu gases which are passed to a gas turbine for driving the turbine, and a char which is passed to a boiler for powering the boiler. The turbine utilizes the low-Btu gases as its sole source of power and is operated independently of the boiler.
