Review: Gasification technologies enable the production of synthetic gas from low- or negative-value carbon-based feedstocks such as coal, petrochemical coke, high-sulphur fuel oil, materials that would otherwise be disposed of as waste, and biomass. the gas can be used in place of natural gas, or be used as a raw material to produce chemicals and liquid fuels. This book provides an introduction and overview to current coal and biomass gasification technologies. It discusses gasification for each technology, including gas clean-up technologies and those used in hybrid systems and fuel cells. There are chapters on: biogasification; pyrolysis; clean-up technologies, and the integration of gasification technologies.
