In further support of our contention that Carbon Dioxide could and should be viewed as an environmental resource, though one also conveniently available for recovery in more concentrated form directly from artificial, industrial sources, such as cement kilns and petroleum refineries, we present the enclosed and following, presented at the 2007 Meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers; held in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In several earlier dispatches, some time ago now, we reported the US Government's sponsorship of a Coal liquefaction pilot plant project at Wilsonville, Alabama; wherein a "two-stage" Coal conversion process was developed and studied.
Herein, we document what we perceive to be related studies of Coal liquefaction processes by the University of Alabama.
And, we submit that the technology explained herein could be a unique and forward-thinking concept, perhaps indicating a path to follow which would help to make Coal conversion processes more efficient.

Azerbaijan, we're certain, though located somewhere in the far Asia Minor barrens North by Northeast from Bumstump, Egypt, must be a beautiful and sophisticated nation.
That said, aside from some fairly remote Natural Gas deposits of an extent that might yet remain to be fully determined, they don't have a lot of basic resources to work with, aside from sand and air.

In an earlier dispatch, posted April 4 on the West Virginia Coal Association's R&D site, and titled "Britain Liquefies Coal with Coal Tar", we reported that a US Patent, Number 4521291, had been awarded to British inventors for, as we have, from other sources, documented to be feasible, using primary and long-known Coal tars and oils, which can be extracted from Coal in a fairly direct way, as agents of hydrogenation and liquefaction for additional raw Coal.
