The Multipurpose Development
of VESTA Technology
From Coal to Low Carbon Renewable
Applications
Several studies proved that Substitute Natural Gas (SNG) is an excellent energy
carrier to be directly introduced into existing natural gas networks. In 2006,
Foster Wheeler (now Wood) developed a simple methanation process, called
VESTA, using catalyst provided by our partner in the technology, Clariant.
In this article a summary of the technology as well as an overview of the state
of development will be presented for the various available applications including
coal gasification and renewable process schemes.
