Industrial gasification is a state-of-the-art process utilizing coal, petroleum coke, and other U.S.-based raw materials, diminishing the effects on the US chemical industry from the price volatility of foreign oil and natural gas and reducing our dependence on them.

Industrial gasification is a versatile, proven, and efficient process that Eastman has profitably employed for more than two decades.

At its most basic level, industrial gasification converts coal, petroleum coke, and a wide variety of carbon-containing feedstocks into a synthesis gas or “syngas."

This syngas is a valuable and versatile raw material that can be converted into a multitude of products such as chemicals, fertilizers, transportation fuels, synthetic natural gas and hydrogen, as well as clean energy.
