CGAS Technology Helps Decarbonize China’s Coal Chemical Industry
At the 2021 China (Anhui) Science and Technology Innovation Achievements Expo, the circulating fluidized bed coal gasification (CGAS) technology developed by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), drew strong interest from the industry. CAS Hefei Coal Gasification Technology Co., Ltd. (ZHGAS), the company responsible for industrializing the technology, highlighted CGAS as a high-throughput, high-density solution that enables low-cost, energy-efficient coal gasification. It is adaptable to a wide range of coal types, generates minimal “three wastes” (waste gas, water, and solids), and significantly reduces carbon emissions—making it a key technology for the coal chemical industry’s path to carbon peaking and neutrality.
