Coal Gasification 2.0

Powerscape Global helps energy leaders and chemical producers across the globe deliver affordable, reliable, and sustainable solutions that drive energy security, economic growth, and a cleaner future.

Clean. Efficient. Economic. Fast.

Powerscape Global is the first U.S. energy technology solutions company to develop a Coal Gasification 2.0 technology that economically converts a broad range of coal to create valuable energy and crucial chemical products such as ammonia. We license innovative gasification technologies and designs needed to construct flexible, modular, and compact gasifiers that can be permitted and deployed quickly.

Reduce Capex, Opex

Combines higher efficiency, flexible feedstock handling, and simplified system design that cuts costs in construction, operation and long-term maintenance.

Operational Simplicity

Streamlines operations by eliminating complex moving parts, delivering a cleaner, more reliable gasification process.

Feedstock Flexibility

Converts low-rank to bituminous coals into clean syngas for reliable power and chemicals.

Higher Throughput

Produces twice the throughput with the largest gasifier capacity in the market while still offering scalable designs for smaller applications.

Faster to Permit, Deploy

Achieves faster deployment with Coal Gasification 2.0’s flexible, scalable gasifiers designed to build on smaller footprints and commissioned more quickly than traditional systems.

Cleaner, More Efficient 

Produces a cleaner, more efficient syngas through advanced pollutant removal and air-blown operation for power generation that boosts efficiency while minimizing emissions.

Transition energy demands have evolved.​​

Technology has evolved with Coal Gasification 2.0 to keep pace with these demands. Powerscape is the first U.S. energy technology solutions company to deliver a 2.0 solution.

Who are we

Power with a Purpose

“Delivering a technology that can feed billions, power nations, and give people control over their own energy security is the greatest gift we can give—because the world needs it.”

About

Our story starts with our founder, Karl Moor.

Karl Moor’s journey with Powerscape began at the forefront of energy innovation. He helped present the Kemper County project—home to the world’s two largest gasifiers—to energy and government leaders across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

“The true genius of the technology lies in the vision and persistence of Dr. Guohai Liu and Dr. Pannalal Vimalchand, whose three decades of research and development made possible the commercialization of next-generation gasification.”

When Kemper was shuttered, Ed Holland who help lead the effort to build Kemper gasifiers was emboldened by the continued innovation of the Liu-Vimalchand team and the need for both low-rank and higher-rank coals to be gasified cleanly to produce power and essential chemicals while capturing CO₂ for reuse. He worked tirelessly to see that Gasification 2.0 would reach the market. In 2023, Moor and Holland united industry veterans, scientists, and policy leaders to launch Powerscape—delivering affordable, reliable, sustainable solutions that drive energy security, economic growth, and a cleaner future.
