By gasifying coals to synthetic gas (syn-gas) in an economically viable and sustainable manner, an entire gasification economy based on clean coal technology can be created. The syn-gas based production of methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, DME and steel while capturing the emitted carbon dioxide can enable a variety of energy, chemical and petrochemical products which have minimal effect on the environment. The captured carbon dioxide can be used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) from ageing oil fields thus increasing oil production significantly.

Dastur is a pioneer in conceptualizing and engineering coal gasification, carbon capture and gasification based downstream chemical, petrochemical and steel plants.

Dastur works with the governments, enterprises and the US Department of Energy (US DoE) on enabling large scale gasification-based energy and chemical systems worldwide. Dastur also works with the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC), a US DoE facility, on enabling both pre-combustion and post-combustion capture from power, chemical, steel, cement and other related carbon emission intense industries.
