Kreutz used two examples of CCTF systems in his analysis: biodiesel from microalgae and Sandia National Laboratory’s S2P process (an effort to utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels, earlier post ). Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., their CO 2 (e.g. ~90%)

Conventional CTL plant gasifies coal to produce a syngas which is then converted in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor to products. Plant-level CO 2 emissions can be greatly reduced by using the CCS technology, the study found, without much increase in capital cost. The liquids output capacity of CTL plants is 50,000 barrels/day.
