United States Patent Application: 0130078172

As we've documented now from numerous impeccable, unimpeachable sources, including, as seen in:

West Virginia Coal Association | USDOE Converts CO2 & H2O into Hydrocarbon Synthesis Gas | Research & Development; concerning: "'High-Temperature Co-Electrolysis of H2O and CO2 for Syngas Production'; 2006; United States Department of Energy; (With) the price of oil currently over $70 / barrel, synthetically-derived hydrocarbon fuels (synfuels) have become economical. ... Synfuels are typically produced from syngas - - hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) - - using the Fischer-Tropsch process, discovered by Germany before World War II. (An) experimental research project is underway at the INL to investigate the feasibility of producing syngas by simultaneously electrolyzing steam and carbon dioxide (CO2) at high-temperature using solid oxide fuel cell technology. H2O + CO2 = H2 + CO + O2. The syngas can then be used for synthetic fuel production";

As should now be incontrovertible, Coal Ash can serve as a property-enhancing additive - - as a substitute for other fine aggregates which would otherwise, at great expenditure of energy, have to be mined, quarried or dredged, with attendant environmental disruption - - for Portland Cement Concrete.

However, as we've elsewhere earlier discussed, some mandated Coal-fired power plant exhaust treatment processes have resulted in the Ash from such facilities being contaminated with an even higher amount of residual, unburned Carbon than previously; which Carbon interferes with air entrainment additives put into the Concrete mix to improve the cured Concrete's resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.

In a fairly recent dispatch, now accessible via:

West Virginia Coal Association | Ethane Cracker Realities | Research & Development;

we addressed the Wheeling, WV, newspaper article: "Wanted: Ethane Cracker; State leaders pushing for facility during gas industry convention"; wherein it was related that a company was considering the construction of a facility, in the northern panhandle of West Virginia, that would take Ethane from Shale Gas and "crack" that Ethane to form, primarily, "Ethylene", which was somewhat inaccurately said to be "the basis for the plastics industry".

US2012055954 METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS RECOVERY OF CARBON DIOXIDE FORM ACIDIFIED SEAWATER

This will be an excessively cluttered dispatch, even though there's not really a lot of new ground to cover.

The point of it all is this:

Our very own United States Government, as it is embodied in the United States Department of Defense and more specifically in the United States Navy, knows full well, without doubt or grounded argument to the contrary, that Carbon Dioxide
