The gasification process converts any carbon-containing material into a synthesis gas composed primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which can be used as a fuel to generate electricity or steam o
The use of coal is required to help satisfy the world's energy needs. Yet coal is a difficult fossil fuel to consume efficiently and cleanly. We believe that its clean and efficient use can be increas
World gasification capacity is expected to grow by more than 70% by 2015. While gasification is not a new process, the higher price in crude has lead operators and refineries to look at all possible c
Gasification is a flexible, reliable and clean energy technology that converts materials containing carbon-i.e. coal, petroleum coke, biomass or waste-into synthesis gas (syngas). The syngas can then
Coal is, and remains, a primary fuel for energy generation in many parts of the world. But the burning of coal is a problem for greenhouse gas emissions and particulate emissions. Thus, the conversion
Underground coal gasification (UCG) processes convert solid coal resources which would otherwise not be mined into syngas. The resulting syngas can be used for power generation, fuel production or oth
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Technologies discusses this innovative power generation technology that combines modern coal gasification technology with both gas turbine and steam turbi
Bridging the gap between the well-known technological description of gasification and the underlying theoretical understanding, this book covers the latest numerical and semi-empirical models describi
