Gasification
Extracting Energy From Organic Materials Converts Carbonaceous
Materials Into Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen
Uses High Temperatures (>700°C) and Controlled Oxygen Content
Result is Syngas

Replacing UTC’s Natural Gas Usage
Use Wood and Paper Gasify to Make Fuel to Use in Furnaces Replace UTC’s Natural Gas Usage +20% with
Syngas
Assumptions -Wood and Paper Are Viewed as Cellulose- Syngas Can Be Sufficiently Burned to Power the Furnaces
