Gasification 101
What is Gasification?
Gasification converts any carbon-containing material into synthesis gas, composed primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (referred to as syngas) Syngas can be used as a fuel to generate electricity or steam, as a basic chemical building block for a large number of uses in the petrochemical and refining industries, and for the production of hydrogen Gasification adds value to low- or negative-value feedstocks by converting them to marketable fuels and products
The Gasifier
Extreme Conditions:
415 psia or more 2,600 F Corrosive slag and H2S gas
Products (syngas)
CO (Carbon Monoxide) H2 (Hydrogen) [CO/H2 ratio can be adjusted]

Gasification Differences from Combustion

Add water and high pressure Use less air or oxygen Gasification exit gases are at high pressure, so smaller volume, smaller reactors Combustion makes heat + CO2 + H2O Gasification makes less heat + carbon monoxide + hydrogen (CO + H2); called Syngas
So what can you do with CO and H2 ?
Building Blocks for Chemical Industry
Clean Electricity
Transportation Fuels (Hydrogen)

7
Water-Gas-Shift (WGS) Reaction

Dry syngas is ~ 40% CO + 50% H2 For each CO molecule the WGS reaction creates one H2 molecule and one CO2 molecule
CO + H2O + catalyst
CO2 + H2
After the WGS reaction, the CO2 and H2 can be separated High pressure CO2 results in lower cost sequestration Hydrogen can be burned to make power
2H2 + O2

Low Rank Coal Program Pathway

Why Its the Right Time Gasification industry interviews show interest in low rank coal
Most projects are cost shared with industry Industry use is objective of Gasification Program R&D
Low rank coals present unique challenges and opportunities for gasification and IGCC
High inherent moisture, high in alkali metals (Na, K, Ca) High oxygen content, high reactivity, low sulfur and Low Cost
NETL systems analysis has shown low rank coal gasification has the potential to be economically competitive
Altitude vs Shipping Limited gasifier types
