GTC’s goal is to promote a better understanding of the role gasification can play in providing the power, chemical and refining industries with economically competitive and environmentally conscious technology options to produce electricity, fuels and chemicals.

GTC members are involved in numerous aspects of developing, deploying and using commercial gasification technologies to produce, process and use synthesis gas for the production of chemicals, fuels, substitute natural gas, transportation fuels and power. GTC member companies are involved in gasification projects as plant owners, technology suppliers, equipment/service suppliers and developers. More information is available at www.gasification.org.
