RE:RE:RE:RE:New Pellet Plant Plasma Torches have been around for a long time and sold by many companies. They are even used in a few steel plants..
The Decsion to use Natural Gas is more likely that the electricy there is producced from Coal and natural gas. So there would be a loss in effieciency the converting steps. Also for the large plant there may not be enough electricty available for the heat requirements.

Using natural gas now is an easy conversion to Hydrogen which is gaining momentum.
