REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Gasification is a centuries–old thermochemical energy conversion
technology that has slowly achieved modernity over the decades. The
technology is undergoing its third evolutionary surge. Fuel shortages in
WWII spurred widespread adoption for vehicle fuels. The oil crisis 1973
spurred a re–evaluation and renewed development. Rising oil prices,
globally increasing fuel demand, and overwhelming scientific evidence
of climate change have spurred this last leg to full industrialization.

The central concept of gasification is that by raising carbon–rich
materials to high temperatures in an oxygen–deficient containment,
the material will break down thermochemically instead of burning. If
the same material is combusted (burned), it emits carbon monoxide
and a host of pollutants, besides being incompletely consumed. If
gasified, the products are hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO) and
carbon dioxide (CO2). This is synthetic gas, simply called “syngas.” It
can be burned, captured, stored, or its molecules rearranged to form
fuels and chemical feedstocks.
The process is moderately more efficient than incineration, has
significantly fewer emissions and waste, and the syngas can be shaped
into a myriad of products for power production, chemical industries,
liquid fuels, and heat.

WHY JUST THE GASIFIER?
Gasifier technology is actually a group of technologies that has emerged
commercially in a number of applications and is being evolved for
others. For several decades, gas and oil refiners, chemicals companies,
remote–from–grid communities, and techno–hobbyists have been
advancing the design and functional performance of gasifiers. As oil
prices have risen and the specter of carbon emissions regulations draws
nearer, the intensity of interest in gasifiers has grown apace.
From a 5,000 ft. altitude view, an industrial scale gasifier plant appears
remarkably similar to an integrated circuit. There are connecting
pipelines (circuits) everywhere, and various specialized devices
(subprocessors) to provide input and take the output of the central
processor, the gasifier, and do something with the syngas.

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT GASIFIER MARKETS
This study of the markets for gasifiers recognizes that the various
market segments involve different operational characteristics,
economics and feedstocks. The financing arrangements for gasification
systems are different among municipal, utility, industrial, gas and oil,
and low–level economies.
Gasification provides a venue to power generation using carbon fuels
without exposing project developers to risk from environmental and
health concerns. Gasification also empowers users to utilize high
carbon, low value fuels (e.g., lignite, sub–bituminous coals, peat) and
derive electricity, industrial chemicals, clean fuels, synthetic
transportation fuels, and inert re–usable waste.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This report was written to characterize and quantify the world markets
for gasifiers in terms of gasifier technologies, unit counts, regions,
feedstocks and end product application. Gasifier technologies have
been evolving for well over a century, but only recently emerged as
either at or near being economically and technologically viable as a
short–list choice for the production of syngas and chemical feedstocks
on an industrial scale and energy sources for a variety of smaller
regional, municipal, village and commercial or residential sectors. A
very limited number of opportunities also exist where gasifiers are a de
facto choice for syngas production.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Gasifiers can be regarded as a new/old technology. Their functioning
principles have been known – and applied commercially since the 19th
century. Before the electric light, gasification supplied town gas for
lighting city streets.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This report identifies, characterizes, describes, and forecasts world
markets for gasifiers on global and regional bases. Attention is given to
national/state incentives, international agreements, regulatory
regimes, and political policies that foster, hinder or neglect (whether
benignly or otherwise) the implementation of gasifiers.
