This post will describe the Depending on the composition and quality of the syngas, it is used for a variety of applications, such as generation of electricity, production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels, natural gas surrogates, and valuable chemical products. South Africa still uses gasification of coal for much of its petrochemical needs. 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. The Synthetic Fuels Corporation was a U.S. Coal is still a major source of energy for U.S. After a brief explanation of the technology and the reasons for its promotion, this post introduces the most important legislative amendments that address in situ coal gasification. Skyrocketing energy costs have spurred renewed interest in coal gasification. Currently available information on this subject needs to be updated, however, and focused on specific coals and end products. Green Car Congress has an article out on a Coal-To-Liquids project in Queensland that uses a new underground gasification process (via Energy Bulletin). 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. 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 . 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]. 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.

Syntroleum Corporation and Sasol has produced almost 1,5 billion barrels of synthetic fuel from about 800 million tonnes of coal since the first sample of synthetic oil from coal was produced fifty years ago at its Sasolburg plant near Johannesburg in South Africa on 23 August 1955. 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?
