Blue Hydrogen – Not A Bad Idea
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In this article, we will look at a technology that can generate hydrogen and power from gasification of a blend of biomass and coal with a “net negative” CO2 footprint. Let us, however, first take a look at an earlier attempt to gasify coal and generate electric power with pre-combustion CO2 capture. While the attempt was not exactly a stellar success, at least based on what can be gleaned from superficial press articles, the reality is quite different. This is why it deserves a closer look because its demise was a significant factor (by no means the only one, though) in putting an end to the efforts to maintain coal as a viable option for electricity generation (see the 2007 GTW article on that subject.
