Production
> Gasification of coal and biomass to produce syngas which can then
be converted to liquid fuels through processes such as Fischer-
Tropsch synthesis
> Gasification of coal and biomass coupled with conversion to
methane to produce pipeline quality substitute natural gas (SNG)
> Pyrolysis and thermal processing of biomass to produce liquid fuels
> Natural gas reforming and water electrolysis to produce hydrogen
Processing
> Syngas clean-up and systems integration for improved alternate
fuels production economics, reliability, fuel quality, and CO2 removal
> Catalytic tar cracking process development for biomass-derived
syngas cleanup
> Development of membranes to separate hydrogen or carbon
dioxide from syngas
> Development of selective membranes for ethanol/water and
butanol/water separation for bioreactors
> Conditioning of biogas for use in fuel cells and other advanced
end-use applications
