Challenges in Developing Coal
to SNG Gasification Projects
William Rosenberg
President, E3 Gasification LLC
Professor of Practice, EPP, Carnegie Mellon
Senior Fellow, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard
Abstract
In 2003 and 2004, Mr.
Rosenberg led research at the Kennedy School to
develop financial and regulatory proposals called
“3Party Covenant” to accelerate the development of
coal gasification plants in the U.S. . Congress
enacted several of the proposals ( tax credits and
federal loan guarantees) in the Energy Policy Act of
2005. Mr. Rosenberg then joined a development group
to build a fleet of coal/petcoke to substitute
natural gas (SNG) plants in Midwest and Gulf Coast
states , with SNG sold to gas distribution and
electricity utilities under loan term contracts. He
will address major regulatory, financing,
government, fuel acquisition, technology,
environmental and CO2 disposal issues in making the
3Party Covenant work in practice.
