Details

The purpose of this study was to assist the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in understanding the current development status of AGTs, and to inform future policy direction and innovation spending in relation to this class of technologies.

It was split into 5 tasks, the first of which covered project set-up and steering board formation and does not have a corresponding report.

The term ‘advanced gasification technologies (AGTs)’ is used to refer to thermal conversion technologies (gasification or pyrolysis) for conversion of biomass or waste into aviation fuel, diesel, hydrogen, methane and other hydrocarbons. This study does not include technologies used to produce electricity.
