Turning biomass like switchgrass and other plants into usable fuel is no easy feat. Gasification, one method of converting feedstocks to fuels, traditionally produces greenhouse gas emissions and ...

Gasification is a process that converts carbonaceous fuels into an energy dense mixture of gases or synthesis gas (syngas) and has been around for nearly 200 years. Some of the first applications of ...

A number of companies–Sapphire Energy, Solazyme, and Bionavitas to name a few–are working on methods to convert algae into biofuel. But Genifuel wants to turn the pond scum into something different: ...

Duke Energy, the Charlotte, NC-based electric and gas utility conglomerate, brought online a 618 megawatt coal gasification power plant in Edwardsport, Indiana, closing the door on a half-decade long ...

Pulp and paper plants could soon double as biorefineries if financing for a Swedish gasification project is any indication. As gas prices have slumped this fall, threatening to run some biofuels ...

Plasma gasification converts carbon-containing materials - such as coal, petroleum coke and municipal solid waste or biomass - into a synthesis gas (syngas) composed primarily of carbon monoxide and ...

Biomass can be converted to fuels via a process called gasification, which uses high temperatures to break feedstock down into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which can then be made into various fuels, ...

Amid current global energy crisis , the mission is again in focus as one of the measures to reduce India’s energy import ...

The 2010 Worldwide Gasification Database from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) documents the worldwide growth of gasification. DOE called gasification the “expected technology of choice” for future ...
