Gas Technology Institute recently commissioned an Advanced Gasification Test Facility, a five-level process research building which houses pilot-scale gasification and gas processing systems. This new lab, supported in part by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, bolsters capabilities in advanced energy development.

The AGTF is an expansion of GTI’s Flex-Fuel Test Facility, designed to evaluate gasification processes for fossil and biomass solid fuels. The combination of these facilities allows integrated piloting of advanced gasification and downstream technologies that enable commercialization of better processes to produce power, chemicals, and gaseous and liquid fuels.
