What are the benefits of GSEs technology for coal producers?
For coal production, the benefits of GSE’s technology include: • Expanding the marketability of coal, including lower grade coal, by yielding two higher value-added products; • Liquefying coal directly without the aid of a catalyst, promoter and/or surfactant; • Removing the risk of operating coal-liquefaction plants under extremely high temperature and pressure; • Enhancing the environmental sustainability of the liquefaction process; • Producing a cleaner fuel source due to the ability to remove pollutants prior to combustion; • Lowering capital and operating costs compared to alternative coal liquefaction technologies; • Enabling producers to establish an economically compelling process in light of the renewability and/or recyclability of the reagent as well as the relative simplicity of the technology; and • Minimizing the required utilities and carbon footprint from the process.
