Coal Gasification to be More Attractive - Utah Scientist
Utah scientist predicts coal gasification will become increasingly attractive
Coal gasification, an expensive but cleaner way to convert coal into energy, will likely become more widespread, potentially offering breakthroughs in curbing emissions that exacerbate global warming and weaning the U.S. from foreign energy, predicted a Utah chemical engineering professor at a major scientific conference in Boston today.
As regulatory frameworks evolve to address growing alarm over greenhouse emissions associated with coal combustion, gasification will become increasingly attractive on economic grounds, according to Brigham Young University's Larry Baxter, who spoke at the American Association for the Advancement of Science's annual gathering.
