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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
