Coal Gasification Market Overview

Coal gasification involves the conversion of coal into some gaseous form, which is further burned as a fuel. The technology of coal gasification was popular before World War II but lost its popularity after the war, owing to low-cost of oils and natural gas. In the 1970s, the utilities showed an increased interest in coal gasification technology due to the increased demand for fuels and to meet the environmental requirements. Coal gasification can be termed as a promising energy technology for the 21st century. In North America and Europe, the major energy organizations and energy research institutes are investing in R&D activities for developments in the coal gasification technology.

Coal Gasification Market Growth Dynamics

The major market drivers in the global coal gasification market are the increased use of the UCG and the flexibility in the feedstock. Since a variety of feedstock, such as petcoke, biomass, coal, and natural gas, can be used for syngas production, it decreases the dependency on one particular feedstock. Furthermore, the latest gasifiers available in the market are well-advanced and have the ability to process multiple feedstocks. The factor that might limit the growth of the coal gasification market is the increased installation cost of the plants. This technology anticipates being 35% more expensive when compared to traditional coal technology.

Growing demand for clean and more efficient energy generation technology in industries as well as household applications is expected to fuel the market growth. The Global Coal Gasification Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market.

Global Coal Gasification Market Definition

Coal Gasification is the service provided for producing syngas–a mixture consisting primarily of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water vapour (H2O)–from coal and water, air and/or oxygen. Coal Gasification is used to produce clean energy from low-cost feedstocks, thereby reducing the environmental impact and the costs associated with disposal. This has resulted in the growing popularity of Coal Gasification over energy produced from renewables, which require high capital costs. Underground Coal Gasification is particularly popular for coal deposits at depths where conventional mining techniques are difficult and cost-intensive.

Coal Gasification eliminates the need for mining and other activities associated with it by converting the coal into useful gases in-situ. Coal gas is combustible and was used for heating and municipal lighting, before the advent of large-scale production of natural gas from oil wells. In current practice, large-scale Coal Gasification installations are primarily for electricity generation, or for the production of chemical feedstocks.
