Biomass

The transition of world energy production to a sustainable resource such as biomass is key to a low carbon emission future. Vast world wide renewable biomass resources are available for development in an environmentally responsible manner. For example, the production of ethanol via the gasification process can be energy efficient and accomplished with reduced green house gas emissions.

Coal

The United States has sufficient non-petroleum natural resources to achieve complete energy independence, unaffected by seasonal weather, and maintain that independence for more than 250 years. The necessary energy, however, is locked in solid hydrocarbons such as coal, lignite, and shale. It cannot be accessed by the conventional combustion process without liberating enormous quantities of pollutants that have unacceptable health and environmental consequences. The NC12 gasification process provides a safe and efficient path to utilize these abundant resources.

Waste

The liquid metal catalytic gasification technology originally developed for waste destruction is now a viable alternative for sustainable energy development. Although the initial projects developed by NC12 will use biomass or hydrocarbons such as coal or petroleum coke, future projects will be designed with the ability to utilize waste resources for low cost and environmentally friendly energy production.
