An excerpt:
"Commercial technologies to gasify coal, to make chemicals from the synthetic natural gas that results, and to isolate and sell carbon dioxide for oil recovery without letting it reach the atmosphere represent a more sustainable economic and environmental model, Cole (Sharon Cole - Dow Louisiana Site Leader) said, and the company would license the available technologies."
Dow, as we have reported, is active internationally in the conversion of coal to chemical manufacturing feed stocks. We have previously noted their efforts in Louisiana, where such enterprise is supported by Governor Bobby Jindal, and where they would be using lignite coal that is far "dirtier", and has less organic content, that high-quality WV bituminous.
