The EMS (Earth and Mineral Science) Energy Institute at Penn State has developed a conceptual novel process configuration for producing clean middle-distillate fuels from coal with some algal input with minimal emissions. Principal inputs are coal, water, non-carbon electricity, and make-up solvent. Background.

the ocean and surface waters) that received their CO 2 directly from ambient air. Most contemporary DAC approaches utilize energy poorly, as evident by second-law efficiencies for CO 2 separation of 1 to 9% (for comparison, post-combustion capture from coal exhaust attains second-law efficiencies greater than 20%).

Generation 3 avoids the need for the Haber-Bosch process entirely by direct electrochemical conversion of N 2 to NH 3. The process generates H 2 from natural gas or coal through steam reforming and combines it with N 2 , which has been separated from air by a cryogenic process, to form NH 3. Note the logarithmic ordinate scale.

However, the two conclude in their review, substantial advances in catalyst, electrolyte, and reactor design are needed to enable CO 2 utilization via electrochemical conversion a technology that can help address climate change and shift society to renewable energy sources. —Whipple and Kenis. reduction.

Second, the US Department of Agriculture proposed a rule on the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) that would provide financing to increase the conversion of biomass to bioenergy. It’s been said that the United States is the Saudi Arabia of coal—and that’s because, as I said, it’s one of our most abundant energy resources.

This review consisted of a closer look at the refined products markets in China, and also a sectoral analysis of energy use. Methanol, like ethanol, is an alcohol with inherent issues such as its solubility in water and corrosiveness. EIA recently completed a re-assessment of energy use in China. Methanol in China.
