1 State of the Gasification Industry: Worldwide Gasification and Syngas Databases 216 Update Gasification & Syngas Technologies Conference Vancouver, 19 th October, 216 Chris Higman

2 Overview Introduction Updated evaluations Biomass data New SMR database Conclusions 2

3 Introduction First edition 1999 Updated regularly since then 215 Update Total 959 projects, 2559 gasifiers, of which: Active commercial operating and planned 34 projects, 833 gasifiers 148 GW th operating, 97 GW th under construction and 113 GW th planned. 3

4 What s New in 216 Database - Content Content Total 114 projects, 2559 gasifiers not counting spares, of which: Commercial Projects Gasifiers GWth Syngas Operating Construction Planned Total 598 1,87 37 Note: Total database includes shutdown gasifiers, gasifiers never built or only in pre-planning stage, as well as pilot and demonstration gasifiers. 4

15 New Syngas Database for SMR and ATR Technologies Methodology basically same as for Gasification Database But some classifications need to be harmonized All data is public domain Data coverage Ammonia, methanol, DRI, FT liquids > 95% of plants Refining hydrogen > 85% of plants With these five applications coverage is about 85% of total market by volume Other applications Other hydrogen (off-site) and chemicals estimated from 211 data by others 1 No attempt to cover small plants (<5, Nm³/h) 15 1 H. Tautz, Opportunities of dry reforming for syngas production processes. 8 th International Freiberg Conference, Cologne June 216

16 Reformer Syngas Database - Content 981 Projects Commercial Projects Units GWth Syngas Operating Construction Planned Total Active-Real and Planned Note: Total database includes shutdown reformers, reformers never built or only in pre-planning stage, as well as pilot and demonstration reformers. 16
