United States Patent: 8025705

We've made several prior reports concerning Germany's multi-national energy technology giant, Siemens AG; one of perhaps special interest in:

West Virginia Coal Association | August 2011, CO2-to-Gasoline US Patent Awarded | Research & Development; concerning:

"United States Patent 7,989,507 - Production of Fuel Materials Utilizing Waste Carbon Dioxide; 2011;  Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Germany; Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for utilizing CO2 waste comprising recovering carbon dioxide from an industrial process that produces a waste stream comprising carbon dioxide in an amount greater than an amount of carbon dioxide present in starting materials for the industrial process. The method further includes producing hydrogen using a renewable energy resource and producing a hydrocarbon material utilizing the produced hydrogen and the recovered carbon dioxide."

This will be a somewhat repetitive dispatch; but, with some additional information.

We submit it primarily to provide some original-source documentation and to begin further addressing one question that was raised to us by one of our informal consultants, which we have treated somewhat briefly in earlier reports.

There will be a lot of future ground to cover, but:

The document we enclose, via the initial link above, is one about which we have previously reported.

We have a lot of closely-related ground concerning the productive collection and recycling of Carbon Dioxide we want to cover in this dispatch, so please forgive any stylistic lapses in our narrative. We'll need to condense things as much as possible.

We've made, over the long course of our reportage, numerous reports of, and allusions to, the extraordinary body of Carbon Dioxide recycling and utilization technology that has been, and is being, developed at Penn State University.

United States Patent: 4394247

We know that our headline, i.e., "California Magic Acid", might, for those among us old enough to have once worn flowers in our hair, conjure up some colorful images that seem wildly incongruent with that of the black bedrock of our reportage, Coal; but, bear with us as we attempt to explain.

And, we beg your patience.

We've previously alluded to our varied personal insufficiencies and disabilities, which sadly limit our capacities both to personally understand the technicalities and to explain them; and, the defection by our more technically-competent advisors, who finally had their fill of being ignored.
