Coal is a valuable resource used as a source of energy all over the world. Most applications burn coal for small and large scale power generation, or use coal as a reductant in metallurgical applications. There is, however, the opportunity to use coal as an energy feedstock for the production of a range of fuels and chemicals as well as high-efficiency electricity, via gasification-based technologies or direct coal-to-liquids systems.
This chapter explores the technologies, applications, barriers and research challenges associated with gasification and conversion of coal for the production of high efficiency power, transport fuels, and chemicals. It considers some of the emerging technologies which aim to reduce costs and emissions associated with coal use. These technologies also offer integrated pathways to cost-effective CO2 capture from coal-based plant.
