Coal gasification produces a low BTU gas which, after purification, is divided into two parts, one part being passed direct to a combustion zone for the generation of electric power via a gas turbine or steam power plant. Another part of this low BTU gas is passed to a reactor where methanol is formed. The methanol is easily stored in its liquid form (as an energy store) and later may be used directly in the gas turbine for production of peak-load electricity or for export to fuel other facilities. |
