Battelle team developing new hybrid direct coal-to-liquids process to produce jet fuel; lower costs and GHGs

Green Car Congress

In a cost-shared program supported by the US Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the Ohio Coal Development Office (OCDO) of the Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA), a team at Battelle is demonstrating a new, hybrid, direct coal-to-liquids process for producing jet fuel using biomass-derived coal solvents.

SRI developing process for co-gasification of methane and coal to produce liquid transportation fuels; negligible water consumption, no CO2

Green Car Congress

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.

Study finds that dry-feed gasification for coal-to-liquids is more efficient, lower-emitting and cheaper than slurry-feed; CCS cost-effective for reduction of CO2

Green Car Congress

Comparison of coal consumption and CO 2 emissions for co-production and separate production of liquids and power. The main reason for the better performance and economics of the dry-feed [Shell] system is the larger fraction of CO and H 2 , the main reactants in a FT reaction, in the gasifier products compared to the GE system.

China’s battery storage capacity growth likely to slow in 2024 – ET Auto

Baua Electric

That estimate lags the expected growth in sales of energy storage products, which will rise 35% year-on-year globally, according to the white paper. This is particularly important for China, which has minimal natural gas capacity, a more flexible power source than slow-ramping coal plants.
