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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Successful testing of a new refractory lining material developed by the Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) could lead to higher reliability and improved economics ...

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the gasification of coal in-situ, which involves drilling boreholes into the coal and injecting water/air or water/oxygen mixtures. It combines an extraction ...

A mining expert says the underground coal gasification (UCG) process will always produce chemicals in underground bores. Cougar Energy's trial at Kingaroy, in southern Queensland, was shut down last ...

If successfully scaled up, the concept could help to reduce multiple waste streams while creating synthetic gas, or syngas, ...

KINGSPORT, TN (WJHL) – Months after an explosion or “process upset” rocked Eastman Chemical Company in Kingsport, the company confirmed normal operations in the coal gasification plant is in the ...
