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]
Gas Clean-Up
before Product Use
By-products
H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Slag (Minerals from Coal)
Clean Electricity
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
2H2O
Syngas
Acetic Anhydride Acetic Acid
Methanol Ammonia

Benefits of Gasification
Feedstock flexibility
Wide range of coals, petcoke, liquids, wastes, biomass can be utilized
Product flexibility
Syngas can be converted to high valued products: electricity, steam, hydrogen, liquid transportation fuels, chemicals, SNG
Environmental superiority
Pollutants can be economically controlled to extremely low levels (SO2, NOX, CO, Hg, etc.) Reduced water consumption Potential solid wastes can be utilized or easily managed High efficiency / low CO2 production CO2 can be easily captured for sale or geologic storage (sequestration)

Program Overview
Program Benefits
U.S. Economic security keeping coal in the mix increases certainty of stable energy foundation Global greenhouse gas benefits
Programs Focus
Technologies applicable to: Gasification: Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power production with 90% carbon capture Coal & Coal Biomass to Liquids (C&CBTL)(Fuels): Production of chemicals, fertilizers, hydrogen and/or liquid fuels Programs overlap:
Polygeneration Fuel flexible technologies that can apply to both

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
About half of the world, and U.S., coal reserves are low rank a global market opportunity for advanced IGCC technology

Carbon capture
Modifications continue to enhance and enlarge pre-combustion CO2 capture testing infrastructure to enable testing of membranes, sorbents, and solvents (upgrade SCU to 1000 lb/hr and MTR CO2 membrane 10x). Evaluated:

This technology may be used by other industries at smaller-scale, substantially reducing the risk and cost of initial IGCC deployment R&D focus has been on high pressure oxygen production for IGCC but Advanced Oxygen Production will also reduce costs in Oxyfuel applications
