Coal Gasification: Ready for Primetime - Bill Trapp, Nate Moock and David Denton of Eastman Gasification Services Co. have put togerther an information package on IGCC. Eastman Chemical has operated a high gasification plant for 20 years. This article takes an indepth look into the process of this advanced clean coal technology.

New Clean Coal technologies are being developed to decrease emissions thus helping the environment while still maintaining the worlds demand for coal and energy. There are three different types:
- 1) Gasification: alternative technology to manufacturing hydrogen from coal - most efficient and cleanest available technology; 20% lower cost than conventional power plant
- 2) Carbon Capture: decreases emissions between 65-95%
- 3) Coal to Liquids: either indirectly or directly - converted to produce fuels
- 2009-12-07 The NuCoal office will be closed for the holidays from Dec 24th - Jan 1st.
