AFTER RIGOROUS REVIEW, CAPSTONE CHOOSES POWERSCAPE GLOBAL GASIFIER FOR UPCOMING COAL GASIFICATION PRE-FEED STUDIES

CapStone emphasizes the importance of coal gasification in ammonia and power production and selects Powerscape Global as priority technology in future projects.

CHEYENNE, WY, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Following nearly five months of comprehensive technical, commercial, and environmental due diligence, Capstone Sustainable Carbon Solutions LLC (“CapStone”) is proud to announce its selection of the PSG Multi-Zone Fluidized Gasifier (“MFG”) designed and optimized by Powerscape Global (PSG) as the integral component for all future pre‑FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) studies in coal‑to‑ammonia and coal‑to‑power projects developed by CapStone.

Gasification Opportunity

Gasification provides a unique opportunity to convert abundant coal resources into low-carbon chemicals or low-carbon power. With growing recognition of ammonia’s strategic importance—not only as a key fertilizer feedstock but also as an energy carrier—there is renewed urgency to develop secure domestic sources. Globally, approximately 70% of ammonia is currently being produced from natural gas via steam reforming, with most of the remainder generated via coal gasification.
Regarding energy, the unprecedented expansion of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and information storage (“Data Centers”) is placing extraordinary pressure on the U.S. power grid. In fact, data center energy demand is actively delaying the retirement of existing fossil-fuel plants and in the near-term, is driving new generation capability development, notably gas and coal.
Applying latest generation gasification technology is a clear enabler to the above challenges because it converts the Nation’s abundant coal resources coal into clean, important, and high-value products. To this end, there is global policy momentum, including in the U.S., India, and Japan, to support clean coal applications leading to an estimated coal gasification sector growth from $187B in 2022 to $544B by 2032 (11.4% CAGR).

Powerscape Global Difference

Over months of rigorous evaluation, the PSG MFG gasifier emerged as the most commercially viable and technically sound option, offering:
• Proven Flexibility: Converts diverse coal grades, including low-rank coal into clean syngas.
• Syngas Optimized for Ammonia and Power: Enables efficient hydrogen extraction for chemical conversion and power generation.
• US-Based Innovation: Applies advanced American coal technology to strengthen domestic supply chains.

CapStone, is directing subject matter expertise to initiate pre‑FEED studies using the PSG MFG technology design, in the following applications:
• Coal‑to‑Ammonia Projects: Domestic ammonia for fertilizers and hydrogen markets.
• Coal‑to‑Power Projects: Dispatchable, low‑carbon power for AI and Data Centers.
