  • Tunable catalytic gasifiers and related methods
    Patent number: 8974557
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides tunable catalytic gasifier systems suitable for gasifying coal, biomass, and other fuel sources. The gasifier reactors of the disclosed systems may be heated by, e.g., a catalytic tube or other jacket that generates heat by catalytically combusting syngas, which syngas may be syngas produced by the gasifier system.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 10, 2015
    Assignee: Good Earth Power Corporation
    Inventor: John Dooher

  • ENHANCED PRODUCT GAS AND POWER EVOLUTION FROM CARBONACEOUS MATERIALS VIA GASIFICATION
    Publication number: 20100129691
    Abstract: Provided are devices and related methods for enhanced gasification of carbonaceous material in which supplemental carbon dioxide is introduced to the gasifier. The gasified carbonaceous material can then be used as a syngas or further processed into hydrocarbon form. The hydrocarbon can then be used in a fuel cell to produce electrical power or used in a traditional combustion process.
