GreatPoint Energy is commercializing its proprietary bluegas technology that converts coal, petroleum coke and biomass into ultra-clean pipeline quality natural gas while enabling carbon capture and storage.
GreatPoint Energy uses a single-stage catalytic gasification process to create natural gas that is 99.5% pure methane and can be transported throughout North America utilizing the existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure. GreatPoint Energy has completed successful testing in a pilot facility in Des Plaines, Illinois, and is commencing engineering for the first commercial project.
Rick Bowen, senior vice president of Btu conversion and strategic planning at Peabody, said: Peabody is advancing technology-based solutions around the world for greater use of coal to build energy security, drive economic growth and create environmental solutions.
