Shimadzu’s Solutions For Coal Gasification

While renewable energy continues to expand, many nations still face challenges with its cost and reliability, slowing its widespread adoption. For countries with rapidly growing populations and economies, coal remains a readily available option to meet immediate power demands.

But what if coal could be utilized more efficiently and with a reduced environmental footprint?

Coal gasification provides a pathway to convert coal into synthetic gas (syngas), mainly composed of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H₂), methane (CH₄), and other gases. Among these, hydrogen (H₂) is emerging as a promising fuel to support the transition toward lower-carbon energy systems. When combined with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, coal gasification-based hydrogen production has the potential to advance sustainable energy efforts.

Beyond energy production, coal gasification also unlocks opportunities for coal-to-chemicals conversions, allowing industries to maximize the value of coal. In this eBook, explore Shimadzu’s specialized configurations for key processes in coal gasification, including:

• Coal-to-Methanol Project: Transforming coal into valuable methanol.
• Methanol-to-Olefin Project: Advanced systems to support critical chemical transformations.
• Ethylene Glycol Project: Streamline analysis of intermediates and final products.
• Environmental Monitoring: Greenhouse gas analysis during coal conversion process.
