Gasification is one of the most important advancements that has
ever occurred in energy production. Using this technology, for
example, coal can be gasified into a product that has roughly half
the carbon footprint of coal. On a large scale, gasification could
be considered a revolutionary development, not only prolonging the
life of carbon-based fuels, but making them "greener" and cleaner.
As long as much of the world still depends on fossil fuels,
gasification will be an environmentally friendlier choice for
energy production. But gasification is not just used for fossil
fuels. Waste products that would normally be dumped into landfills
or otherwise disposed of can be converted into energy through the
process of gasification. The same is true of biofeedstocks and
other types of feedstocks, thus making another argument for the
widespread use of gasification. The Handbook of Gasification
Technology covers all aspects of the gasification, in a "one-stop
shop," from the basic science of gasification and why it is needed
to the energy sources, processes, chemicals, materials, and
machinery used in the technology. Whether a veteran engineer or
scientist using it as a reference or a professor using it as a
textbook, this outstanding new volume is a must-have for any
library.
