Before the end of WWII, gasification had been extensively used to produce both fuel gas and gaseous feedstock from coal. But things have changed when natural gas became readily available, and coal gasification received little attention, especially in recent years when the trend is to move away from fossil energy. Compared to conventional coal combustion, gasification-based processes for power production typically result in much lower emissions of pollutants. So, coal gasification technology became relevant again during the transition of energy production to cleaner sources, in an effort to fight climate change. Taking another look at gasification technology to better understand its potential benefits including carbon capture and management and use the process, seems to make sense during the challenging time of the transition of energy production. Professionals and policy makers in the energy field will benefit from this writing. 0aProduction engineering. 0aChemical engineering. 0aElectric power production. 0aCogeneration of electric power and heat. 0aFossil fuels.14aProcess Engineering.24aChemical Process Engineering.24aThermal Process Engineering.24aMechanical Power Engineering.24aFossil Fuel.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303155585508iPrinted edition:z978303155587908iPrinted edition:z9783031555886 0aSynthesis Lectures on Chemical Engineering and Biochemical Engineering,x2327-674640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-55586-2
