Abstracts

Gasification has reliably gained a good market in the past few decades, as there is a rise in chemical, energy, and natural gas demand all over the world. Gasification is a thermochemical process, thus there is a considerable interest in routes to liquid biofuels involving gasification as a result of the potential for routes to have low costs, high efficiency, and high well-to-wheel greenhouse savings. The improvement in characteristics of current fuels has taken the production of fuels upwards compared to traditional biofuels. This has become a substitute for clean energy supply with increased acceptance.

Important key components of gasification are as follows:

• Abundant resources and deposits of coal
• Demand for clean energy
• Wide range of biomass/waste feedstock
• Recover energy locked in biomass and municipal solid waste, eliminating incineration of landfilling
• Produces electricity with significantly reduced environmental impact compared to conventional technologies

The increase inurbanization andthe population living in cities and towns, and the rise in the price of oil, has put pressure on traditional energy supplies, and has helped drive thegasification market dramatically over the years. The failure to acquire current energy and power resources, lack of alternatives to gasification, increasing industrialization by exploiting natural resources, and acceptance of governments to invest in R&D of gasifier plants, has increased the gasification demand.

About

This research study involved the usage of extensive secondary sources: press releases, investment reports, industry white papers, presentations, and other publicly available sources to identify and collect information that was useful for this extensive technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the global gasification market. The primary sources are mainly several  industry  experts  from  core  and  related  industries  and  preferred  suppliers, manufacturers, technology developers, administrators, solution providers, alliances, standards and certification organizations from companies, and organizations related to all segments of this industry’s value chain. All primary sources were interviewed to obtain and verify critical qualitative and quantitative information, as well as to assess the prospects of the future.

Gasification is a process which converts organic or carbonaceous material into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. It is a time-tested, reliable, and flexible technology that converts feedstock into electricity and other valuable products, such as chemicals, fuels, natural gas, solvents, and fertilizers. This does not involve combustion, but instead uses little or no oxygen or air in a closed reactor to convert carbon-based materials directly into a synthetic gas (syngas). It breaks down these materials into molecular level, and removes impurities easily, which are sold as valuable industrial commodities.

Generic types of gasifiers, which are used for gasification, are moving/fixed bed, fluidized bed, entrained flow, and others such as plasma or Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC). These are selected on the basis of the use of wet or dry feed, the use of air or oxygen, the reactor’s flow direction (up, down, or circulating), and the process of gas cooling. There are many routes to gasification output, which is one of the decisive factor to select gasifier such as biomass to liquid, biomass to energy, coal to energy, coal to liquid, direct reduction, industrial waste gasification, waste to energy, petcoke gasifier, and plasma gasifier.

The material fed to the gasifier is the feedstock which can be in the form of solid, liquid, or gas. The feedstock for gasification is coal, petroleum coke, biomass/waste, or natural gas. These produce chemicals, transportation fuels, gaseous fuels, fertilizers, and electricity which are used in a variety of industries.

Gasification is geographically distributed in regions such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America. Asia-Pacific is the dominant region among other parts of the world. The major portion is covered by China where large numbers of gasification plants are setup. As coal reserves are abundantly present, it captures the largest volume of the market.
