Universal Continuing Decision Process For: DOE/NETL *

 Richards, George     

 

George Richards with the R&D group at DOE discussed biomass utilization for coal gasification. The gasified product can produce liquid fuels with a zero carbon footprint providing sequestration is also used. If the gas is used for power then the system would actually be a net reducer of atmospheric carbon. Torrefaction is a way to treat biomass for use in standard coal mills.
