Process for the manufacture of hydrocarbons from carbon monoxide and hydrogen
Over the long course of our reportage, we've many times made reference to the value of "synthesis gas", or, more simply, "syngas", a blend of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen which can be catalytically condensed through a variety of techniques, most often referred to generically, and, since there are wide variations on the art. somewhat inaccurately, as the "Fischer-Tropsch" technique, into liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

We earlier attempted to make report of the information we enclose herein, so please forgive what might seem tedious repetition. But, our previous efforts were curtailed by what we can only characterize as the better social judgment of others.
We are trying our best, as all seem to desire, to put a rose-colored lens on the flashlight with which we illuminate this particular dark and dusty trail.

We've submitted many reports documenting the fact that industrial effluent, or even atmospheric, Carbon Dioxide can be effectively recycled, and converted into a number of valuable products, including liquid hydrocarbon fuels, through the industrialized mediation of specific microorganisms, with Green Algae being most often employed.
Our own United States Department of Energy, especially, has focused a great deal of effort on the development of such Algae-based technology, as our more recent spate of reports on their activities in that area of endeavor might reflect.

Energy Citations Database (ECD) - - Document #6685301
The document we make introductory report of in this dispatch is, we are convinced, an important one; and, we are thus enclosing multiple links to it.
Furthermore, there are many details enclosed within the document that have direct bearing on, and implications for, the productive recycling of Carbon Dioxide in United States Coal Country, including, and in some cases especially, as we will illustrate in coming dispatches, West Virginia.

Electrochemical Cell for Production of Synthesis Gas Using Atmospheric Air and Water
We have submitted numerous reports documenting the fact that blends of Carbon Dioxide and Water, whether the CO2 is dissolved in liquid Water or whether the two are combined as gases, with the Water having been first converted into Steam, can be electrolyzed in specially-designed cells, and be thereby broken down into Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen.
The Hydrogen and the Carbon Monoxide can then be reacted together, through a variety of long-known and well-established catalytic processes often generically labeled as one sort or another of "Fischer-Tropsch" technique, and be made thereby to form a wide variety of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons.
