Gasification can deliver a sustainable energy economy

Kedco are now recognised as industry leaders in the science of Gasification, but what is Gasification ?

Gasification is designed to create a combustible synthesis gas from carbonaceous solids. These carbonaceous solids can range from wood pellets , wood chips or paper, to refuse derived fuel. Kedco believe that gasification can help deliver a sustainable energy economy and is one of the most technically and economically convincing energy possibilities for a carbon neutral economy today.

Gasification Process

The process of gasification converts carbonaceous materials, such as biomass, into carbon monoxide and hydrogen by reacting the raw materials at high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen. The resulting gas mixture is called synthesis gas. This gas can be used in existing boilers to generate steam to drive a steam turbine, or in gas engines to generate electricity and heat. The method of electricity generation you choose depends on your heat requirements.
