Coal for direct-reduced iron
The following article examines the role of coal specifically used in the production of direct-reduced iron (DRI). It explores the technical characteristics of this coal, the main mining regions, economic…
Coal for ammonia synthesis
This article explores the role of coal as a feedstock for industrial ammonia synthesis: where such coal is found, how it is mined and processed for chemical use, the technologies…
Chemical feedstock coal
Chemical feedstock coal is a class of coal valued not primarily for its role as a thermal fuel but for its capacity to provide carbon-rich raw materials for chemical processes.…
Syngas coal feedstock
This article examines the use of coal as a feedstock for producing syngas — a mixture of primarily carbon monoxide and hydrogen — addressing its geological occurrence, extraction regions, industrial…
Gasification coal
This article explores the role of coal tailored for gasification — the conversion of coal into a combustible or chemical-rich gas (syngas) used for power, fuels and chemicals. Gasification coal…
The Shift Toward Clean Coal Technologies Worldwide
The Shift Toward Clean Coal Technologies Worldwide As the world grapples with the dual challenges of meeting growing energy demands and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the focus has increasingly turned…
Industrial Gasification of Coal: Processes and Uses
Industrial gasification of coal is a process that converts coal into synthetic gas (syngas) through a series of chemical reactions. This syngas can then be used for various industrial applications,…
