Announced the opening of their joint venture coal gasification to advance "cleaner coal" technology Shenhua Group deputy general manager Wang Xiaolin said, “Both GE and Shenhua have worked together for years in China on important projects, including the Shenhua Baotou coal-to-olefins facility, which uses GE's gasification technology. 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. 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. Prospects for underground coal gasification in carbon-costrained world. New Coal Chemical Industry: Stable Application. Jocelyn Isabel Wessling on May 21, 2009 8:35 PM. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants offer efficiencies better than other coal power plants. Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a process for exploiting coal that cannot be mined because the seams are too deep, thin or fractured. But biofuel has issues of its own, and since when does lumping one dirty fuel with another marginally less dirty fuel make them both clean? DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has developed a molten catalytic process for converting coal into a synthesis gas consisting of roughly 20% methane and 80% hydrogen using alkali hydroxides as both gasification catalysts and in situ When Web surfers sign up for a new online service or download a Web application for their smartphone or tablet, the service typically requires them to click a seemingly innocuous box and accept the company's . Now the coal to be one important energy source, after petroleum. The study also found that for coal to supply 21 per cent of all fuel Let's start saving our valuable coal, oil and gas for other uses like making fertilizers, hydrogen and chemicals, through gasification and stop wasting it via combustion in 50 year old technology. Coal Gasification and its Applications. Accordingly, the good news is that on 10 May Shenhua Group Corp., China's largest coal producer, and General Electric Co. The partners have agreed to assess and identify coal deposits in Indonesia for application of underground coal gasification (UCG) technology, and to prepare a preliminary study for their commercial development. Mr Algy Cluff, Chairman and Chief Executive of Cluff Natural Resources, commented: 'I am delighted to be able to announce the award of these licences which represent a low cost entry into underground coal gasification which is becoming a burgeoning industry.

It is well known Syngas has a number of commercial applications; feed for power generation plants, iron and steel manufacturing, gas-to-liquids processes and fertilizer / methanol production. Coal is still a major source of energy for U.S.
