The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has
published a study to assist in the understanding of the current
development status of AGTs, and to inform
future policy direction and innovation spending in relation to
this class of technologies.
It was split into 5 tasks, the first of which covered project
set-up and steering board formation and does not have a
corresponding report.
The term ‘advanced gasification technologies (AGTs)’ is used to
refer to thermal conversion technologies (gasification or
pyrolysis) for conversion of biomass or waste into aviation fuel,
diesel, hydrogen, methane and other hydrocarbons. This study does
not include technologies used to produce electricity.
