The 9th European Gasification Conference returns to Germany in March with the chemical engineering community and IChemE (Institution of Chemical Engineers) backing the technology.
The 9th European Gasification conference: Clean Energy and Chemicals, takes place in Dusseldorf on 23-25 March and, despite recent decisions by both the US and UK Governments which have hampered the technology's progress, senior figures within chemical engineering say gasification technologies will play a major role in plans to reduce global carbon emissions.
Gasification enables a wide range of energy sources including coal, biomass and residual oils to be converted into environmentally-friendly chemicals and fuels. Most of the effluents normally created in atmospheric burning plants are caught before combustion and converted into useful by-products, or captured for safe storage.
