KeLa Energy, LLC has developed a coal based, synthetic fuel made up of coal fines, recycled binding materials, and biomass. This water resistant synthetic fuel burns cleaner than coal (lower SOx and NOx) and can be engineered to meet the needs of the customer in terms of emissions, Btu value, and biomass content. Combustion chemistry taking place during the burning of the KeLa Fuel acts to “self-scrub” and lower the air emissions when compared to coal. KeLa Engineered Fuel does not breakdown in the presence of water and can be transported, stored and handled like coal. KeLa Engineered Fuel reuses what is currently a by-product of coal production that is sent to massive landfills. This technology represents a green engineering application of a several valuable resources.
