Japan Maximizes Hydrogen Production from Wind Power

United States Patent: 7667343

As we've documented in many previous reports, one factor key to the conversion of our abundant Coal and our - - some say - - too abundant Carbon Dioxide into desired hydrocarbons via established and available processes is a ready supply of elemental, molecular Hydrogen.

Hydrogen can be supplied by involving H2O, whether in the form of liquid Water or Steam, in the reactions; but, such processes do require a larger input of energy than others, related, where elemental Hydrogen itself is available and can be utilized.

Wheeling, WV, Coal-based Carbon Foam

United States Patent: 6656238

The concept of a solid "foam", both firm and to some greater or lesser extent flexible, should be one pretty much familiar, through experience, to just about everyone by now.

Some commonplace examples would be the insulated cups you buy take-out coffee in and the cushions you plant your fanny on when you're driving your car. There are other examples, too, like insulation board, which, unlike the cups and cushions, is much more rigid; in a way, "stronger".

First, we apologize in advance for the complex, and no doubt confusing, structure of the report we bring to you herein. We note that there will be some seeming repetition within it, resulting from our attempt to reproduce for you the critical facts concerning the productive and beneficial use of Coal Ash in road and highway construction, as presented by the Federal Highways Administration, FHWA, as faithfully, though succinctly, as was possible for us.

Our report contains a lot of links to separate chapters and associated information that are all part of the core document accessible via the initial link above.

May, 2012, CO2 to Gasoline and Jet Fuel

United States Patent: 8168143

The first day of May, that is, May Day, has forever it seems been a day of festival; one traditionally celebrated by the pagans to mark the passing of cold and darkness; and, the coming of a season of light.

It was adopted by the early Socialist, or "Workers", movement in Europe as a holiday of special significance, and was celebrated as such; as, for instance, in the poem:

"The Worker's Maypole", by Walter Crane, which appeared in the Socialist journal Justice, all the way back in 1894, and goes, in part:

"Cast the clouds of the winter behind ye; And come forth and be glad in the sun."

Conoco Polymers from Coal Syngas

United   States Patent: 7629288

Our main thesis, over the course of our long reportage, has been   that Coal, and, secondarily, both Carbon Dioxide itself and CO2-recycling   botanical matter can be converted into anything, quite literally anything, we   now allow ourselves to be fooled into mortgaging our grandchildren's   future to the noble, democratic, magnanimous and peace-loving nations of   OPEC to keep ourselves supplied with in the here and now.
