Linc Energy taking stake in aboveground gasification company; potential CTL introduction in US

Green Car Congress

Linc says the Pyromex process produces good quality syngas with almost no CO 2 gas emissions, and without the need for the consumption of high volumes of water or power. Additionally, the process does not utilize oxygen injection, which means there is no need for a large air separation unit (oxygen production facility).

New Zealand Strategic Assessment of Biofuels Calls for Emphasis on Synthetic Diesel from Wood

Green Car Congress

Algae could well play a valuable subsidiary role, especially if its use as a biofuel feedstock can provide the added benefit of improving water quality. Solid Energy and L&M Mining are also considering using the Fischer–Tropsch process to make synthetic fuels from lignite coal in New Zealand. Commissioner Wright. per liter (US$5.12/gallon
