Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. SES’ U-GAS gasification technology is intended to convert approximately four million tons of low-rank, high-ash coal annually into syngas for subsequent conversion into methanol, which, in turn, will be converted to zero-sulfur unleaded gasoline and LPG using ExxonMobil’s MTG technology.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected four projects to receive funding for next-generation gasification systems. Awardees will receive approximately $16 million to advance the gasification process, which converts carbon-based materials such as coal into syngas for use as power, chemicals, hydrogen, and transportation fuels.

In a new report, energy, mining and minerals consultancy Wood Mackenzie projects that despite efforts to limit coal consumption and seek alternative fuel options, China’s strong appetite for thermal coal will lead to a doubling of demand by 2030. It is very unlikely that demand for thermal coal in China will peak before 2030.
