Turning biomass like switchgrass and other plants into usable fuel is no easy feat. Gasification, one method of converting feedstocks to fuels, traditionally produces greenhouse gas emissions and ...

Sept. 11, 2003 — A new hydrogen gasification process which is modeled after a coal gasification process has been issued a patent pending. Using gasification technologies, hydrogen can cost around 20 ...

Biomass- and waste-derived gasification processes are advantageous in many ways, providing syngas streams for low-carbon energy, renewable fuels and chemical precursors. However, the complexity of the ...

Gasification is a process that converts carbonaceous fuels into an energy dense mixture of gases or synthesis gas (syngas) and has been around for nearly 200 years. Some of the first applications of ...

Coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) is a by‐product generated during coal gasification, comprising a heterogeneous mixture of inorganic ash and residual carbon. This material presents both a ...

The overuse of fossil fuels has led to pollution that has become a globally recognized environmental problem. Therefore, adjusting the energy structure and gradually reducing the use of traditional ...

Duke Energy, the Charlotte, NC-based electric and gas utility conglomerate, brought online a 618 megawatt coal gasification power plant in Edwardsport, Indiana, closing the door on a half-decade long ...

Gasification, as opposed to combustion, is the most thermally efficient and cleanest way to convert the energy content of coal into electricity, hydrogen, clean fuels, and value-added chemicals. The ...

As a response to a recent "consultant article" regarding gasification, I would like to give the following response: Gasification is a process that converts carbon-based materials such as, municipal ...

Hydrogen is unlikely to become the sole energy carrier of the future, but it has an important role to play in a diversified energy landscape. The Fast Company Executive Board is a private, fee-based ...

There’s a lot of coal in the ground. In 2006, the U.S. Energy Information Agency estimated that global coal reserves (i.e., the total quantity of coal that can be economically produced) stood at ...
