**Abstract**

The long, stable operation of Jinshi and Tianqing programs proved the feasibility of Lurgi gasification by using Jincheng anthracite as raw material. Compared to other types of coal, Lurgi gasification by using Jincheng anthracite as raw material showed advantages including environmental protection, water consumption, effluent disposal, etc. By analyzing the characteristics of Lurgi gasification by using Jincheng anthracite as raw material, we discussed the choice of technical route and confirmed that the route of industrial gas, coal chemical products, and natural gas could exploit the advantage to the full. Finally, techno-economic evaluation of fuel gas prepared by Lurgi gasification with anthracite as raw material was discussed, and the result showed that industrial fuel gas produced by Lurgi gasification with anthracite as raw material could become an alternative to natural gas in industrial fuel gas field.
