The energy saving mechanism and the potential of efficiency improvement for coal to synthetic/substitute natural gas and power plant with different schemes and CO2 capture is disclosed through exergy analysis, and the effects of key parameters on exergy losses and system performance are...

A new kind of natural gas-based polygeneration system for methanol and power production is proposed in this paper. With the sequential connection between chemical production and power generation, the new system adopts innovative integration of partial-reforming and partial-recycle scheme in...

For both energy security and CO2 emission reduction, synthetic natural gas (SNG) production from coal is an important path to implement clean coal technologies in China. In this paper, an overview of the progress of coal to SNG technologies, including the development of catalysts, reactor...
