✦ Synopsis
The Center for Coal Utilization, Japan (CCUJ) has promoted clean coal technology programs to develop innovative coal conversion technology to clean energy, form the viewpoint of countermeasures for global warming issues and maintenance of energy security in Japan. The di-Me ether (DME) synthesis technology has been developed as oil alternative technology and development of hydrogen manufacturing technology with nearly super critical water state is underway. DME is expected to become a substitute for propane gas in wide application fields or for diesel fuel. A 5 ton/day bench-scale plant successfully synthesized DME by a charging coal bed with methane and/or a model coal gasification gas. The advanced hydrogen production process utilizes water at high pressure and high temperature to decompose coal in order to produce hydrogen at high concentration Commercialization of these technologies is necessary for coping with future environmental issues and realizing clean power systems using coal.
