Synthesis Energy Systems achieves first methanol production from phase 1 of Yima JV coal-to-methanol project

Green Car Congress

Located in Henan Province, China, the $250-million coal-to-methanol facility uses SES’ patented and proprietary gasification technologies. When it reaches full capacity later this year, the plant is expected to convert some 2,400 tonnes per day of high ash Yima coal into 300,000 tonnes per year of refined methanol.

CAS researchers propose decoupling gasification reactions for greater control and optimized outcomes

Green Car Congress

Gasification is emerging as a core technology for the production of chemicals and cleaner power, and refers to a process for converting solid fuels, including coal, biomass, and wastes, into either fuel gas (containing CH 4 and some N 2 usually) or syngas (containing mainly H 2 and CO) for subsequent conversion into fuels and chemicals.

Lessons from a year with solar power

EV Info

The solar panels attach to the roof and convert solar light into electrical energy. The inverter converts the DC solar into AC power that can power the house or be directed back into the Grid as well as connecting up the Battery packs that uses 48 Volt DC. . In March 2020 we installed 9 solar panels an inverter and 2 battery packs.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

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. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop.
