Process and apparatus for the hydrogenation of carbonaceous materials

We've previously documented the war-time Coal liquefaction prowess and activities of Germany and Japan, which extended even to their many Asian and European CoalTL installations being designated as specific, and high-priority, targets of strategic bombing by the Allied Command.

As we recorded for you, United States Patents had been issued to German scientists for Coal liquefaction technology just prior to, and even during the initial outbreak of, fighting on the European continent; and, rights to those patents were subsequently consigned to a custodian of alien property, pending resolution of the hostilities.

In case you missed this news release, the TransGas, LLC, Coal-to-Gasoline conversion plant, about which we much earlier reported, continues on a path towards actual construction in Mingo County, WV.

The document we enclose herein, via the above link and attached file, was, at one time, apparently, as we interpret the various statements within it, classified as "Secret" by our United States Government.

Though it reports work completed by the USAF Wright-Patterson Base in 1965, it wasn't cleared for public distribution until 1972.

Which is sort of odd, since it only, in essence, confirms what the Nobel Committee affirmed 60 years prior, in the award of their 1912 Prize in Chemistry to Paul Sabatier:

Enclosed is some additional information on the Mingo County, WV, Coal-to-Gasoline conversion facility, as per our immediately previous dispatch.

Excerpts follow, again without appended comment.

Note, however, that they will, we believe in confirmation of some of our earlier reports about the project, be utilizing ExxonMobil's MTG(r), methanol-to-gasoline, technology,about which we have many times reported, wherein the Coal will be first converted into Methanol; and, the Methanol then converted into Gasoline.
