SunGas gasification systems are based on pressurized fluidized bed technology originally developed by the Gas Technology Institute (GTI), which has been deployed commercially around the globe. Within the fluidized bed, the fuel reacts with steam and air or oxygen at a temperature of 840 °C to 1100 °C (1550 °F to 2000 °F).

Anthropogenic global greenhouse gas emissions increased by 15% between 2000 and 2005, a sharp increase in the expected rate of growth, according to a new report from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC). It also provides data on greenhouse-gas emissions for the 20 years preceding the 1990 Kyoto protocol.
