We've documented for you a number of times that Coal power plant Fly Ash can be utilized in the making of a Portland-type Cement; a cement that offers advantages in terms of reduced energy consumption and reduced Carbon Dioxide emissions, relative to conventional Portland Cement, in it's making; and, higher strength and other improved performance, relative to Portland Cement, in it's use in traditional cement and concrete applications.

We've made several previous reports concerning the Carbon Dioxide recycling technology that has been, and is being, developed by scientists, including and especially Andrew Bocarsly and Emily Barton Cole, at New Jersey's Princeton University.
We last called your attention to the fact that Princeton's scientists had applied for United States, and World, patent protection on technology they had invented which would enable the efficient conversion of Carbon Dioxide, recovered from whatever source, into a variety of organic chemical products, including the alcohols Methanol and Ethanol.

Hydrocarbon synthesis process with two-stage coke gasification
Herein, again from more than half a century ago, we present an indirect Coal liquefaction technology developed by the petroleum industry, which, ultimately, results in the production of "high yields of ... high octane gasoline", with no, or very, very little, Carbon Dioxide being emitted from the process itself.
Though for multiple reasons unable to thoroughly analyze it all for you, we see it as being closely similar to another petroleum industry Coal liquefaction technology that was it's contemporary, and about which we earlier reported, in:

Herein, from the United States Department of the Interior, we have further confirmation of the fact that Coal power plant Fly Ash can be utilized as a raw material in the making of Portland-type Cement, and, thus, concrete; a use which, when combined with the potential for using additional Fly Ash in various forms as an aggregate for the concrete, offers an outlet of extraordinary size and volume for the solid by-products arising from our invaluable and essential use of Coal in the generation of electrical power.
We remind you that the Department of the Interior, through their Bureau of Reclamation, has a long history of productively utilizing Coal ash.

We remind you that we have, for going on some few years now, been reporting that the petroleum industry knows full well that Carbon Dioxide is a valuable raw material resource that can be converted, through a number of different processes, into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons; that is, into virtually anything we now obtain from natural petroleum sources.
