DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90012) has announced the
addition of "Plasma-Gasification Technology and Industry Overview: A
Panel Discussion among Ten University Academics, Private Engineering
Analysts, National Laboratory Scientists & Technology Center Managers"
to their offering.

Deliverable: Transcript with key findings.

Study Description and Objectives:

-- To review the specific benefits and drawbacks of plasma
gasification.

-- To estimate the domestic and international market size and
opportunity for plasma gasification between new plants and
retrofits, and the power-generation market.

-- To determine if a specific type of power plant benefits most
from plasma-gasification technology.

-- To estimate is the expected payback period for
plasma-gasification technology, both as a retrofit and in
"greenfield" power plant applications.

-- To understand the legislative policies, regulations, and
emissions laws that pertain to plasma gasification's market
opportunity.

-- To investigate the permitting and construction timelines,
capital costs, and operating costs for implementation of
plasma-gasification plants.

-- To understand the primary purchasing decisions of plasma
gasification buyers.
