Penn State University Researchers Discover Inexpensive Way to Clean Up Sulfur Dioxide from Coal Plants. U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, http //www.netl.doe.gov/newsroom/media rel/mr pennst.html... 

The Advanced Gasification Combustion (AGC) project was developed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and General Electric and Environmental Research Corporation (GE-EER), etc. The AGC process is considered to have three fluidized bed reactors. In reactor 1, coal is partly gasified with steam in the presence of a C02 sorbent. The remaining char together with the C02 sorbent is sent to reactor 2. In reactor 2, char is...

A 2002 study for the National Energy Technology Laboratory found that coal gasification systems with C02 capture could reach efficiencies of 60% or more in cogenerating hydrogen and electricity using different configurations of turbines and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
