While there were initial plans for the first commercial implementation in China in 2009, it's unclear whether the project was successfully completed and became operational. Finding definitive information online about the project's current status might be challenging due to the limited timeframe and potential language barriers.

Here are some suggestions for further research:

Search for news articles or reports published from 2011 onwards, focusing on keywords like "TRIG coal gasification", "Dongguan TMEP", and "China." This timeframe coincides with the expected operational start year of the project, as mentioned in the initial announcement.
Contact the technology developers: KBR (Kellogg, Brown, & Root) might potentially have updated information about the project's status. Their website or official channels could be a starting point for reaching out.
Consult industry reports or publications: Specialized reports and publications related to the energy sector might offer insights into the current state of TRIG technology and its commercialization efforts.
Remember, the lack of readily available information online doesn't necessarily mean the project was unsuccessful. However, it highlights the potential challenges in obtaining definitive confirmation about its current status.
