CO2 for Fuel Production

CO2 Mitigation and Fuel Production - 1997

 

We herein forward links to, as with the Congressional records of coal liquefaction technologies we sent you, a database of information that is too large for us, in our penurious circumstances, with our minimal computer communications capacity, to effectively manage and excerpt/edit for inclusion in the Coal Association R&D Blog.

 

Should you spend some time exploring it, and we hope you do, you will find that, as we've been reporting, multiple technologies exist which would allow us to recycle the CO2 by-product of our coal use and transform it effectively in more liquid transportation fuels - among other things.

 

Other researchers we've discovered in our efforts are now even suggesting, as we have previously, that CO2 recycling would not only help to mitigate the issue of atmospheric CO2 concentrations, but would also help us to conserve our seemingly vast coal resources. There are more valuable uses to which coal can be applied than to the manufacture of liquid fuels. We've reported on a few of those applications, some of which are now in commercial practice, with more on the way. We will remind you that the Chinese, though much has been made of their truly massive coal-to-liquid industrialization, publicly state that the bulk of their CTL production will be devoted to things that are actually useful in the grander scheme, such as plastics and fertilizers.
