The process was developed in 1926 by Rheinbraun AG in Germany for lignite coal; in the 1970s, Rheinbraun (now RWE) improved the process by operating the gasifier at a higher temperature to increase the carbon conversion and to improve of the quality of the syngas produced. ThyssenKrupp Uhde is a world leader in coal and biomass gasification.
Noting that coal accounts for roughly 25% of the world energy supply and 40% of the carbon emissions.

American Lithium raised capital in early May 2016 and bought prospective brine land in Nevada USA on a previously operating Boron mine in late May 2016.
With oil prices surging in the summer of 2008, the annual increase in global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from oil, coal, gas and cement production appear to have halved according to preliminary estimates by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. Who said no good has come from the global financial crisis? per cent in 2007.
The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Bolivia is no friend of the USA. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? — Bill 7. Cheers — Al Louard 11.
