Coal-powered synthetic natural gas (SNG) plants being planned in China would produce seven times more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional natural gas plants, and use up to 100 times the water as shale gas production, according to a new study by Duke University researchers published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

But while China has promised to take action to tackle emissions from the sector, it is lagging on targets to replace coal-fired blast furnaces with cleaner electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, which uses recycled scrap rather than iron ore as a raw material. think tank Global Energy Monitor (GEM) said in a report published on Tuesday.

In the journal Angewandte Chemie , Chinese scientists report on a new bifunctional catalyst that converts syngas to lower olefins (C 2 -C 4 ) with high selectivity. This could make it more attractive to make olefins from alternative sources of carbon, such as biomass, natural gas, or coal.

The small molecule consisting of two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms is a basic building block in the manufacture of a wide range of basic chemicals, polymers and plasticisers. China has large coal reserves, and methanol can be manufactured quite easily by gasifying coal. In addition, methanol can be made from natural gas.

Sorry, but electrics and electric power plants are so efficient that CO2 emissions are less than gassers even when the electricity comes from coal - and a lot of electricity doesnt come from coal.
