bluegas™ has the same environmental profile as drilled natural gas; the cleanest commercial fuel in use today. Chemically, bluegas™ is composed of 99.5 percent pure methane.
The bluegas™ process has overwhelming advantages in a carbon emissions constrained future. As part of the bluegas™ process, over half of the carbon found in coal - which would otherwise contribute to global warming - is removed and sequestered in local oil wells or coal bed methane mines. This is a key advantage to the bluegas™ process that cannot be achieved with conventional combustion and gasification technologies. In addition, the other harmful contaminants contained in coal are removed including sulfur, nitrogen, arsenic, mercury, and particulates. Once captured, most of these materials are sold to the chemicals industry and the remainder is disposed of in a safe non-leachable manner.
