Feedstock coal rank usually has little effect on the environmental impact of a gasification system. Sulfur,for example, can vary from 0.5 to 8 percent in coal, and while different technologies may be needed to handle the entire range, the resulting emissions would be quite similar and more based on environmental regulations.

What is coal gasification? HowStuffWorks
Aug 29, 2012 Coal gasification is said to have greater efficiency than conventional coal-burning because it can effectively use the gases twice: the coal gases are first cleansed of impurities and fired in a turbine to generate electricity. Then, the exhaust heat from the gas turbine can be captured and used to generate steam for a steam turbine-generator.

Gasification of coal IspatGuru
Apr 05, 2013 Gasification of coal is a conversion technology which converts any carbon (C) containing material, such as coal, into synthesis gas (syngas). It is a high temperature process with temperature reaching typically 1,225 deg C. The temperature is optimized to produce a fuel gas with a minimum of liquid and solids.
