Gasification PortfolioThyssenKrupp Uhde acquires HTW™ Gasification Technology
• HTW™ goes back to 1926 (Winkler Gasification)
• HTW™ technology was previouslyowned by RWE/Rheinbraun
• ThyssenKrupp Uhde acquires theHTW™ technology with all IP rights and know-how from RWE in December 2010
• Main target: low-rank feedstocks, in particular: coals with high ashmelting points, brown coal, lignite, wastes
