Here's some information about the Tianjin project:

(In the comments section it says "GreenGen is also planing to upscale the project: in April 2008, GreenGen and Tianjin officials signed an agreement for two 400-megawatt IGCC units."

Apparently Peabody Energy was or is involved, but their project was a $1 billion 650 megawatt project:

This recent project mentioned in the article about the ADB loan is a "$419.59 million project"

And I noticed in that last article it said "The technology is reportedly the leading least-cost option available at present to cut carbon dioxide emissions from coal plants by up to 90 percent. ".

I posted an article about last months World Energy Summit that said other companies were citing similar technology at 1 billion/plant:

I don't think anybody else can compete (cost-wise) with CCTC's technology right now. Just mho..
