  1. Coal Mining Open Pit Mine Underground Mine

  2. Coal Conversion Processes • Carbonization and Pyrolysis • Low severity (mild gasification) • High temperature • Direct Liquefaction • One-stage reactor technology • Two-stage reactor technology • Co-processing • Hybrid • Indirect Liquefaction • Gas reactors • Slurry reactors

  3. Why Coal-To-Liquids (CTL)? • Energy Security • Size of coal resources • Distribution of resources • Environment • Utilization of clean coal technology • Sequestration technology expected • Flexibility • Advanced technology • Co-production capability • Economics • Competitive with alternatives • World oil price volatility

  4. Coal-to-Liquids – Part of an Unconventional Fuels Portfolio • Growing consensus on need to diversify transportation fuel sector • Long term: hydrogen • Intermediate term: liquids from coal, oil shale, liquids from biomass, increased domestic petroleum production, efficiency • Advantages of Coal and CTL Technology • U.S. coal reserves amount to 250-year supply at current rates of consumption • Coal resources are dispersed (proven reserves in 26 states) • 1 ton of coal can be processed into 2 barrels of high-quality liquid fuels • Offers opportunity to pre-invest in eventual hydrogen-from-coal production facility

  5. Coal Liquefaction HTU Direct Coal Liquefaction Process H2S, NH3, COx Recycle H2 C1 – C2 Gas Recovery Treatment Make-Up H2 LPG Gasoline Refining Coal + Catalyst Diesel Fuel H-Donor Slurry Fractionation Slurry HVGO Solvent De-ashing DAO Ash Reject

  9. CTL Projects Worldwide

  10. International CTL Plants and Projects

  11. Barriers to Coal-To-Liquids • Technical • Integrated operations of advanced CTL technologies have never been demonstrated • Economic • Uncertainties about future world oil production • High capital and operations costs • Investment risks • Energy price volatility

  12. Barriers to Coal-To-Liquids • Environmental • CO2 and criteria pollutant emissions • Expansion of coal production and requisite infrastructure (railroads, railcars, etc.) • Water use • Commercial Deployment • Competition for critical process equipment, engineering, and skilled labor • Who would take the lead in commercial deployment? Part power part liquid fuels • Social • NIMBY and public resistance to coal use

  13. Gasification Technology Overview:The Basic Chemistry A partial oxidation process that can convert any hydrocarbon into hydrogen and carbon monoxide (synthesis gas or syngas). (CH)n + O2 H2 + CO For example: 2 CH4 + O2 4H2 + 2 CO [ Methane] [Oxygen] [Hydrogen] [Carbon Monoxide] Process Conditions: 1,800 – 2,800 Deg F, 400 – 1,000 psig

  14. Clean Coal Generation Technologies • Pulverized Coal • Fluid Bed Combustion • Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle

  15. IGCC Overview Energy Ventures Analysis Inc

  16. Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle • Air vs. oxygen blown gasifiers– potential to save Air separation unit costs, reduce onsite power consumption • Dry vs. slurry fuel feed– Improve energy efficiency by 2.6% • Hot syngas clean-up– Improve energy efficiency 1.0-1.5% • Improve gasifier reliability to save redundancy • Gas turbine advancements– new turbine classes (FB->H 2.2% improvement), hydrogen rich fuel combustion for carbon regulation world • Shift reactor technology to maximize syngas CO2 capture and hydrogen production for carbon regulation • Syngas mercury capture

  18. Basic Idea of a Power Plant Steam Spinning turbine blades and generator Boiling water

  19. Four Stages of Coal Combustion • Primary Devolatilization • Coal Tar + Light HC + H2O • Secondary Pyrolysis • Tar Light HC + soot • Homogeneous Oxidation • Light HC + O2CO2 + H2O • Char Burnout • C + O2CO2

  20. Schemes for Methane Conversion

  21. Potentiality of coal gasification technology • CO2 issue is increasingly getting hot topics, requirement of High Efficiency Technology such as IGCC or IGFC, will be increased in future. • It is necessary to proceed CCT program included outlook of CO2 recovery and sequestration as a final target. • In this case, Coal Gasification will be Key Technology considering of coal utilization potentiality in future. • Coal Gasification is also possible to apply for NH3, GTL, and H2 production, it can be said that the technology expandability is so wide range.
