2. Technological challenges
Since the industrial deployment of gasification in the 1920s, a large number of different processes have been developed. The most robust technologies (atmospheric pressure, use of air as oxidizer) were used to supply either the chemical industry or lighting gas networks, which have since been replaced by natural gas, and are described in the first edition of the Coal Gasification dossier

...Economic data
A set of economic data is provided in table 1 . It should be noted that the cost of producing syngas from coal is close to that of natural gas (average for Europe 2007-2008: $15/GJ), provided that coal is available at a price below the market price.
