Designing Emerging Energy Processes using aspenONE® Process Engineering
Capitalize on new opportunities by bringing emerging energy projects to market faster and more efficiently
Increasingly, the world needs all forms of energy-from conventional crude oil and
natural gas to the emerging energy sources of the future. Diversifying energy sources
in an environmentally sound way is essential in order to meet the growing global
demand for energy.
aspenONE Process Engineering provides the solutions to help companies build and
operate profitable emerging energy plants. Since 1976, AspenTech has been at the
forefront in developing innovative simulation technologies for emerging energy processes,
beginning with non-conventional solids such as coal, ash, cellulose, sand, etc.
Today, AspenTech's solutions are used widely by leading emerging energy technology
providers, owner-operators, engineering and construction firms, and government research
laboratories.
Gasification
Gasification offers one of the cleanest and most versatile solutions for converting
carbon containing materials into synthetic gas, which can then be converted into
electrical energy, chemicals, liquid fuels, etc.
Escalating energy costs combined with environmental concerns have generated a renewed
interest in clean coal technology. There is a growing need to: minimize, capture,
and sequester carbon emissions, increase the efficiency of extracting energy from
coal, and to capture the generated CO2 and inject it either underground or into
the ocean.

Renewable bio-mass based technologies such as low carbon emission bio-diesel and
bio-ethanol used for transportation fuel, chemical and power-based industries are
increasing in popularity because of high oil prices and government incentives for
the use of alternative fuels.
