Researchers from SRI International (SRI) are developing a methane-and-coal-to-liquids process that consumes negligible amounts of water and does not generate carbon dioxide. Lifecycle GHG comparison. In conventional CTL approaches, energy is supplied by burning a portion of the coal feed, which then produces carbon dioxide.

Geely’s CRI investment and work with renewable methanol is similar to the approach Audi is taking with its own e-fuels projects—producing very low carbon liquid or gaseous fuels using only renewable energy, water and CO 2. Their results showed that in comparison with gasoline mode, CO emitted in methanol mode decreased 11.2%.

The selected projects focus on advancing the development of a suite of post-combustion CO 2 capture and supersonic compression systems for new and existing coal-based electric generating plants, specifically: (1) supersonic compression systems; (2) small pilot-scale (from 0.5 FuelCell Energy Inc.

CO 2 emissions of the C 180 in comparison to its predecessor [t/car]. Where energy resources are concerned, lignite, hard coal and uranium figure principally in car production. The C 180 with manual transmission shows a drop in fuel consumption in comparison to its predecessor from between 7.6 Source: Mercedes-Benz.

Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). Pulverized coal is often used as the flame fuel, and fuel is also added to heat and drive the calciner and preheaters.

Also, using renewable electricity to replace electricity produced by carbon-intensive energy sources, for example, coal, would likely result in a greater reduction in emissions than using that electricity to convert CO 2 into liquid fuels. The key requirement, of course, is that the electricity used to convert the CO 2.

For instance, the extraction of coal for electricity production. Moore: And so why do you feel like you have to look at all the upstream stuff that a chip-maker may not really have any control over, like coal and such like that? This has a GWP value of 25,200 kilograms of CO2 equivalent. What did that do to water consumption?
