Due to Memphis, TN's anticipated energy shortage, MLGW plans to build a demonstration coal-gasification plant that will supply 175 million CF/day of 300 Btu/CF industrial fuel gas (equivalent to 50 million CF of natural gas) to nearby users. IGT's U-GAS fluidized-bed process will gasify 3158 tons/day of Western Kentucky coal. Once the proof of a working system is at hand, the project will serve as a model for other cities to develop similar energy sources.
