Summary

Coal gasification, the process of breaking down coal into its constituent chemical components prior to combustion, will permit the US to more effectively utilize its enormous, low cost coal reserves. The process facilitates lower environmental impact power generation and is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to traditional generation techniques.

The new study, Coal Gasification 2006: Roadmap to Commercialization is designed to inform the reader as to this rapidly evolving technology, its market penetration prospects and likely development.

Contents include:

Clear explanations of different coal gasification technologies
Emissions & efficiency comparisons with other fuels and technologies
Examples of US and global gasification projects - successes and failures
Commercial development and growth forecasts
Gasification projects by syngas output
Current and projected gasification technology market shares
Updated news and recent developments - including proposals for Underground Gasification projects
Recommendations for greater market penetration and commercialization

Coal Gasification 2006: Roadmap to Commercialization is designed to offer a concise and accurate introduction to this developing sector. With its focus on emerging technology, projects under development and key industry players, this study is an invaluable tool for:

Planning and finance personnel
Coal and electricity power project developers
IT Professionals
The trading and investment community
