We'll just reproduce, below, the info available through the enclosed link.
No comment, except that we must not have been, "they" might prefer to have us believe, able to get 'er done.
But, we would still like to see a copy of the final report; at least to see why we, supposedly, couldn't get 'er done; and, why we don't now have some "Optimal Coal Liquefaction" plants under construction..
Wouldn't you?
PS: It is Sandia's Rich Diver, if you recall our earlier posts, who has proposed a "Counter Rotating Ring Receiver" device for Carbon Dioxide recycling. And, Sandia's role seemed to be only a part of this total coal liquefaction package. Be nice to know what was in the rest of the package, and who else was involved.
And, why is the name of the Contract Specialist so adamantly unavailable?

| Project Description | |
| DOE/NETL's transportation fuels program is aimed at providing the nation with an alternative source of liquid fuels by the year 2005. Sandia's role in this effort is aimed at facilitating process development and improving process efficiency through advanced kinetic modeling efforts. In this project, a Sandia developed software package known as Signature that generates and integrates kinetic reaction networks using heuristic rules to generate reaction networks, quantitative structure property relationships (QSPRs) to determine reaction rate constants, and a unique stochastic method to integrate the network. Signature will be modified to allow the handling of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, as well as the homogeneous reaction systems for which it was originally designed." | |
