DOE Funds Four Coal Gasification and Coproduction Research Projects

The U.S. Department of Energy announced the selection of four new projects under its Coal and Power R&D Program. Project teams will research advanced coal-gasification technologies for the coproduction of power and hydrogen or substitute natural gas (SNG).

A recent report published by Argonne National Laboratory concluded that coal will match natural gas as the largest source of hydrogen by 2030, and then move into the lead, providing 26.5% of the hydrogen to fuel the anticipated hydrogen highway by 2050.
