We have previously submitted several reports of concurrent and collaborative research in Switzerland and Israel, concerning the development of efficient technology to collect and convert Carbon Dioxide into hydrocarbons of commercial utility.
 
Herein, we present further documentation of those Swiss and Israeli efforts; further confirmation of that fact that Carbon Dioxide, as is emitted in a small way - relative both to natural sources, such as volcanoes, and to human sources, such as natural gas or oil refineries and cement kilns, of emission - from our productive uses of Coal, can be efficiently converted, via reactions with Methane, into the valuable liquid fuel, Methanol.
 

Coal hydrogenation process
 
We've previously reported on the Coal hydrogenation and conversion plant operated by the old Union Carbide Corporation, prior to their assimilation by Dow Chemical, in South Charleston, West Virginia.
 
As we've documented, several developments in Coal conversion technology arose from that enterprise, and we herein submit another of them.
 
We think, based on our continuing research, that there might now be better and less-expensive ways to go about adding Hydrogen to Coal extracts, relative to the process explained herein by Union Carbide; as we will, in future reports concerning Consolidation Coal Company, document.
 

PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN VIA THE STEAM-IRON PROCESS UTILIZING DUAL SOLIDS RECYCLE
 
As you should, from our posts, by now know, supplemental Hydrogen, from one source or another, is required in processes intended to efficiently and thoroughly convert Coal into gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons.
 
You should also now be aware that our local Consolidation Coal Company, prior to their unfortunate assimilation by Continental Oil, devoted considerable productive effort, throughout the 1960's and 1970's, into developing practical Coal conversion technologies.
