In my opinion, the most suitable approach for producing gas from coal on an economic level is to build small- to medium-scale coal gasification plants at the locations where natural gas is consumed, through catalytic gasification using coal. Attempts in this area are already being made, and I hope to exchange ideas with those who are interested.
Reply to 1# srx2005: You can do a search; there is an introduction to Bluegas in the information section. Additionally, Exxon abroad has worked on this, and several domestic companies such as XinAo are also carrying out related work.
Small scale leads to high costs, severe environmental pollution, and approval processes pose problems
We are currently studying it, but we think it’s quite difficult
The coal chemical industry is developing well at the moment, but it causes a lot of pollution
Reply to 2# kkxxzyb: In addition to Shinao’s own developments, Shenhua also uses Bluegas technology. I don’t know if anyone else is working on it.
How do you handle the wastewater generated during the catalytic gasification process?
I only know that initially, Huayin Power’s coal-to-natural gas project was supposed to use the Bluegas technology, but later it was announced that this approach was not economically viable, so the project was canceled. I have attended technical exchanges related to Bluegas, and it seems that this technology is still in the pilot stage – it is far from being mature.
