Price stability and abundant supply of solid hydrocarbons are the foundation for Global Energy’s commitment to BTU conversion via gasification technology as the low-cost solution to America’s energy needs.  Historically, stable and low-cost coal can be compared to volatile oil and gas hydrocarbon prices to readily understand Global Energy’s plan to utilize the lowest cost hydrocarbons. 

Global Energy has optimized gasification technology operations to create a level playing field for inter-fuel competition among all major hydrocarbons; Coal, Oil and Gas.  In addition, other solid hydrocarbons such as petcoke and renewable fuel can be utilized in certain Global Energy facilities. 

Proven coal reserves in the United States are equivalent to more than 900 billion barrels of oil (BOE), which is more than 3 times the size of the largest national oil reserve in the world.
