Gasification of coal has been implemented on many facilities in China and South Africa to yield syngas for conversion to liquid fuels, olefins, or methane.
Partial oxidation of natural gas is a gasification process which is becoming common to make syngas or blue hydrogen for low-carbon ammonia. Gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) to yield syngas is also increasingly popular.
The syngas produced from the gasification of MSW can be used to make methanol or liquid fuels through Fisher Tropsch Synthesis (FTS). Alternatively, syngas can be upgraded to enrich the hydrogen content using the water gas shift (WGS) reaction. If required, the crude hydrogen flowing from the water gas shift reactors can be further purified using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to yield fuel cell grade hydrogen.
