United States Patent: 8202913

We begin herein to attempt correction of a perhaps egregious lapse in our reportage on the advanced technology being developed in some corners for the conversion of our abundant Coal, in concert with sustainable and Carbon-recycling Biomass resources, into the liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons we continue to debase our nation's economy, and our own citizens' standard of living and quality of life, to keep ourselves supplied with from those lovable gangs of allied multinational bandits, OPEC and Big Oil.

We have previously reported on the company we bring to your attention herein, but did so in such an offhand and secondary way, in such a cavalier fashion, that we are unable at this time to find that earlier reference among our now thousands of prior reports.

Bayer   MaterialScience CO2-to-Plastics Pilot Plant - Chemicals Technology

Bayer Corporation is a company that should be instantly familiar to any   of our Coal Country readers in West Virginia, or in the vicinity of   Pittsburgh, PA.

They should, in fact, be familiar to anyone who has followed our posts   thus far, since, as seen in:

West   Virginia Coal Association | Bayer Improves Coal + CO2 = Carbon Monoxide |   Research & Development; concerning: "US Patent 7,473,286 - Carbon   Monoxide Generator; 2009; Assignee: Bayer Material Science, AG,   Germany; Abstract and Claims: A generator ... for the reaction of   carbon-containing raw materials and also to an improved process for the   production of carbon monoxide gas (CO gas) having a high degree of purity   using such a generator. Carbon monoxide gas is frequently produced in the art   by means of a continuous process in which carbon-containing raw materials are   reacted with oxygen and carbon dioxide ... . Suitable fuels ... are, for   example ... coal"; and:

United   States Patent: 5521132

In a recent dispatch, we documented that Coal Ash can be used, as a   substitute for the traditional raw materials, in the making of Ceramics; which   is an entirely different class of materials than the Cement and Concrete that,   we have more than thoroughly documented, can be made in such   property-enhancing and energy-efficient ways from Coal Ash.

The ceramics we were talking about, in:

We remind you that we have previously documented the potentials for   combining a facility that converts Coal into liquid and/or gaseous hydrocarbon   fuels with another, integrated, facility that employs Algae, or other suitable   and related photosynthesic microorganism, cultivated in one or another of   various types of "bioreactor", to recycle any byproduct Carbon Dioxide arising   from the Coal conversion process.
