Hydrogen production pathways include low- and high-temperature electrolysis; solar thermochemical disassociation; photobiological splitting (four pathways: direct and indirect biophotolysis using hydrogenase and nitrogenase); gasification (coal, biomass); steam reforming (methane, ethanol); and partial oxidation. —Yazdanie et al.

Thanks to the improved exploring, boring, and retrieving skills, the extremely abundant nontraditional natural gas resources such as shale gas and coal-bed methane are recently being discovered and utilized. T synthesis catalysts are beneficial for CO 2 conversion. CO 2 /MJ F-T product for the conventional processes. T synthesis units.

They also note that large-scale production of synthetic fuels or hydrogen from coal or gas offers the potential for GHG emissions reduction—but only if CO 2 can be captured and stored. High quality diesel fuel can be produced from natural gas (GTL) and coal (CTL).

Methanol can be produced from a range of renewable sources and fossil-fuel based feed-stocks; in practice methanol is mainly produced in coal-rich China from coal. The BIT researchers estimated that a 30% fuel-cost saving could be attained if methanol was burnt even though the price of crude oil has decreased by more than 50%.

People have also looked at storing CO2 in old mineshafts, and the approaches that are most seriously looked at now, or already used in practice, actually, is storing CO 2 in old oil and gas-depleted reservoirs or in deep saltwater aquifers that are a couple kilometers below the surface. Philip Ringrose said, “Think of it as olive oil.”

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. We also mined or extracted and burned coal and oil, releasing millions of years of stored solar energy indiscriminately, altering Earth’s climate.
