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 ...

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 ...

Gasification is a promising alternative method for producing hydrogen, as detailed in this comprehensive exploration of hydrogen production methods. This process involves splitting water into hydrogen ...

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 ...

News this past November that Australian company Cougar Energy had begun developing a pilot project to generate power from coal still underground has reignited interest in the 100-year-old alternative ...

A number of companies–Sapphire Energy, Solazyme, and Bionavitas to name a few–are working on methods to convert algae into biofuel. But Genifuel wants to turn the pond scum into something different: ...

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 ...

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 ...
