Coal and Biomass Conversion to Multiple Cleaner Energy Solutions System producing Hydrogen, Synthetic Fuels, Oils and Lubricants, Substitute Natural Gas and Clean Electricity

This system turns coal, trash, and farm waste into various clean energy products like synthetic fuels, hydrogen, natural gas, and electricity. It works by first preparing and heating coal and biomass together in a process called co-gasification, then converting the resulting gas into useful energy forms while also capturing carbon dioxide. The claims focus on the overall process, the specific co-gasification method, and the hydrogen production method.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread policy push for carbon capture and clean hydrogen production. The claims cover processes for both, which are now critical components of global decarbonization strategies and energy transition efforts.
