USDOE and WVU Sponsor Illinois Coal Ash Brickmaking

We've made previous report of the work of the Coal Combustion Byproducts Recycling Consortium, whose name was later changed to just "Combustion Byproducts Recycling Consortium" - in acknowledgement, we suppose, of the social and political impropriety of using "dirty" four-letter words.

An example of that reportage would include:

West Virginia Coal Association | The Coal Combustion Byproducts Recycling Consortium | Research & Development; "The Combustion Byproducts Recycling Consortium", an operational group of entities housed and managed from within the "West Virginia Water Research Institute".

US Navy Recovers 92% of Environmental CO2 for Fuel Synthesis

United States Patent Application: 0130039837

As is now irrefutable - - - as should some time ago have been headline news in every Coal Country newspaper serving US citizens whose way of life sprang from, and remains reliant on, the Coal mining and power generation industries, and whose way of life is being threatened by nonsense like Cap & Trade Carbon Dioxide taxation; indeed, as should have been headline news in every newspaper in the United States of America serving all US citizens whose way of life is threatened, has for a long time been crippled, by imported oil OPEC extortions - - - the United States Navy, as seen for one example in:

Coal Scientists Present Coal Conversion Overview

Energy Citations Database (ECD) - - Document #6412497

Our ongoing review of the available technical literature concerning the conversion of Coal into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons has led to what, for us, is a rather startling, maybe even a disturbing, discovery.

As will become clear in some reports to follow in the near future, there was, quite obviously, a rather large, extensive and coordinated effort, sponsored - with our tax money - by the USDOE and the USDOE's precedent agencies in the late 1970's and early 1980's, to develop and refine the science and practical technology for converting Coal into liquid hydrocarbons like Gasoline and Diesel, just as the company, Sasol, has been doing in South Africa since the 1950's.

USDOE Pays for Coal Ash Ceramic Tiles

United States Patent: 5935885

We've previously documented for you that Coal Ash can serve as a natural resource-sparing raw material in the manufacture of various types of ceramics, a class of materials which would include such things as bathroom tiles and, even, fired bricks.

USDOE Converts CO2 & H2O into Hydrocarbon Synthesis Gas

We earlier presented you, some time ago now, with a number of reports concerning the development, by the United States Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, of a technology known as "Syntrolysis", wherein Carbon Dioxide and Water vapor are co-electrolyzed, and broken down into Oxygen, which is scavenged from the system, and Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen, that is, "synthesis gas", which can be catalytically and chemically combined, as via the long-known Fischer-Tropsch process, in the synthesis of both liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon fuels.
