Estimated annual greenhouse gas emissions over the lifetime of the QCLNG project. BG Group has approved implementation of the first phase of a US$15-billion project to convert coal seam gas (CSG) to LNG—the first major commercial project to do so. More than half the emissions come from the LNG facility. Source: QCLNG EIS.

Thermionic energy converters are heat engines that convert heat directly to electricity at very high temperatures. A basic thermionic converter consists of two electrodes separated by a vacuum or a vapor. In 1915, Schlichter published an investigation into the use of thermionic emission for converting heat into electricity.

The resulting syngas can be processed into synthetic fuels via the Fischer-Tropsch process; upgraded to synthetic natural gas; or used to synthesize mixed alcohols. Methanol can subsequently be converted into various fuels and chemicals. BioMCN produces methanol from glycerine residue from biodiesel plants.
