Area of Interest 1 - Feeding Coal/Biomass Mixtures Across a Pressure Gradient: Area of Interest 1 - Feeding Coal/Biomass Mixtures Across a Pressure Gradient (DE-PS26-08NT00258-01): Coal has advantages of great abundance, relatively low cost and high energy density. Furthermore, the production of synthesis gas from coal is a proven technology at commercial scale. Coal has a low hydrogen to carbon ratio and the production of FT diesel from coal produces approximately twice as much CO2 as does the refining of petroleum into diesel. This disadvantage can be managed by the capture and sequestration or reuse of the CO2 produced when FT diesel is made. When this is done, the CO2 produced with FT diesel is equivalent to that from petroleum-refined diesel. If biomass is used as a portion of the source of the synthesis gas, the resulting FT diesel will have essentially no net impact on atmospheric CO2 levels because the carbon in the biomass that goes into the synthesis gas is generated from atmospheric CO2 by photosynthesis. Unfortunately, biomass has numerous disadvantages as a feedstock to produce synthesis gas including a low energy density and high moisture content that leads to high production and processing costs. It is also difficult to feed biomass reliably into a pressurized gasification reactor and there have been very few demonstrations of this technology at commercial scale. The Feeding Coal/Biomass Mixtures Across a Pressure Gradient area of interest solicits development of optimal methods to pretreat and feed biomass into a high-temperature high-pressure coal gasifier.
