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. In conventional CTL approaches, energy is supplied by burning a portion of the coal feed, which then produces carbon dioxide.
Comparison of coal consumption and CO 2 emissions for co-production and separate production of liquids and power. Conventional CTL plant gasifies coal to produce a syngas which is then converted in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor to products. The conference series rotates between, North America, Europe and Asia.

Of the installed capacity of just above 12,000 MW, approximately 49% (5,893 MW) is coal fired, 39% (4,686 MW) is gas-fired, 7% (869 MW) is hydro, and 4% (497 MW) is wind powered. More than 90% of electricity in Alberta is produced by methods that emit greenhouse gases: burning coal, oil or natural gas.
“Building on the experience and success of the GTL Consortium, we now move to the next phase of alternative fuels while continuing to develop GTL further,” said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker at a press conference in Doha.

At COP27, he said that even though the first legally binding international treaty on climate change, known as the Paris Agreement , was adopted nearly a decade ago, countries have yet to come to a consensus on how to stop burning fossil fuels, among other issues. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.
Avoiding new coal-fired power plants and accelerated phasing out of existing plants—while ensuring careful handling of issues such as employment, investor interests and grid stability—would help the emissions picture. In early 2017, an additional 273 GW of coal-fired capacity was under construction and 570 GW in pre-construction.
