Herein, from that great greaser of sub-tropic American seas, and US coastlines and beaches, we submit an interesting refinement on the art of indirect Coal liquefaction; one that takes advantage of the fact that processes for the initial gasification of Coal most often co-generate a certain amount of Carbon Dioxide, along with the more-desired Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen components of hydrocarbon synthesis gas.
Please note that our headline is not entirely accurate, since the technology we make report of is one which generates both alcohols and hydrocarbons from syngas which contains Carbon Dioxide.

There should be nothing really, on a technical basis, conceptually new for you, presuming you to have followed our reports thus far, revealed by the Gulf Oil Corporation Coal gasification technology, confirmed as being viable by our own US Government, that we disclose herein.
Their intent is, simply, to generate as pure a mixture of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen synthesis gas, suitable for catalytic condensation, as via, for example, the Fischer-Tropsch process, into liquid hydrocarbon fuels, as possible.

Last March, we again addressed "Section 526" of the "Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007", a tasty bit of legislation, an amendment to the Act itself, which was slipped into the books in the later years of the Bush Administration, that specifically prohibits the US Department of Defense from buying and using, or promoting the manufacture of, liquid hydrocarbon fuels synthesized from our abundant domestic Coal.

In a recent article appearing in a one-time Coal Country newspaper, which has since seemed to have packed up its bags, or at least it's heart, and moved to Gasland,
(See: Gasland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia; "Gasland is a 2010 American documentary film written and directed by Josh Fox. The film focuses on communities in the United States impacted by natural gas drilling and, specifically, a stimulation method known as hydraulic fracturing.)

Our own United States Department of Energy actually declared, publicly, the science and technology for converting our abundant Coal into liquid hydrocarbon replacements for anything that we currently derive from natural, conventional Petroleum sources to be economically and technically viable fully three years ago.
