Skyrocketing energy costs have spurred renewed interest in coal gasification. Electricity generation, but its role is declining in favor of natural gas and other energy sources due to low natural gas prices, state renewable energy standards and environmental regulations. Coal is still a major source of energy for U.S. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants offer efficiencies better than other coal power plants. Coal has improved its long-term position as the world's most widely available fossil energy source with a very large resource base and economically recoverable reserves that are much greater than those of oil and gas. ASU technology for gasification-application to CTL in China (Air Liquide) 12. The new funding will enable researchers to scale up the technology, with the aim of obtaining the data for the future design and operation of a commercial-scale biomass gasifier. New Coal Chemical Industry: Stable Application. Prospects for underground coal gasification in carbon-costrained world. IEPA spokeswoman Maggie Carson said the Taylorville permit could be reinstated, but Tenaska's subsidiary company in Illinois, Christian County Generation, will have to resubmit its application first. This book explains the coal gasification system and its application. Coal Gasification and its Applications. Synfuels China and its development in advanced CTL process technologies (ICC) 11. Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel in Moreover, most of coal consumptions are for electric power generations, with industrial consumptions of coal for steam and heat and for chemical and metallurgical processes being other major uses [5]. That plan was shelved earlier this year because low natural gas prices currently make coal gasification less economical, but Tenaska still wants to build coal gasification capabilities into its proposed plant in case natural gas prices rise again. Currently available information on this subject needs to be updated, however, and focused on specific coals and end products. Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a process for exploiting coal that cannot be mined because the seams are too deep, thin or fractured.
