We're including two primary links in this dispatch, since the technical disclosures of the two United States Patents, for the efficient conversion of Coal into hydrocarbon synthesis gas, connected to by those links, both assigned to the former Texaco, which was assimilated a few decades ago into Chevron, make reference to each other in the courses of their respective expositions.
As a quick search of the West Virginia Coal Association Research and Development archives will attest, we've already documented for you more than thirty Carbon conversion technologies developed by the former Texaco and it's associated companies; technologies directly pertaining to the transformation of Coal, Carbon-recycling wastes and Carbon Dioxide itself into hydrocarbon liquids and gases.

We've previously documented the Coal liquefaction technology that had been under development by California's Chevron, formed by the 1985 merger of Pittsburgh's Gulf Oil and Standard Oil of California.
We, in fact, insinuated that the merger of those two companies might have been motivated by their coincident, and extensive, separate development of Coal liquefaction technologies, which development continued jointly for a time after their 1985 merger.

We hesitated at first to present the Standard Oil Company Carbon Dioxide recycling technology we submit in this dispatch.
The official, United States Patent Disclosure of it bandies terms about that are so arcane as to be absolutely unintelligible to us mere Coal-digging troglodytes.

United States Patent Application: 0090298958
Herein we present yet another, essentially Coal liquefaction, technology developed by the now-notorious British Petroleum.
In perfect honesty, though, our headline on this dispatch might at first seem deceptive or misleading.
Like many of Big Oil's published treatises on Coal conversion technologies, targeted on the production of liquid hydrocarbon replacements for the stuff we've indentured ourselves to the beneficent group of nations known as OPEC for the supply of, BP manages to avoid any use of the dirty, four-letter word, "Coal", throughout their full Disclosure.

Like many of the published petroleum industry technologies we've reported for you, the Japanese scientists we cite herein prefer not to identify, at all, not even once, the source of their raw material: "a gas mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide".
However, some of these scientists' friends and close colleagues have already spilled those beans, as some lengthy comments we'll insert attest. We'll have some additional suggestions of our own, as well, following excerpts from the above link to the United States Patent which tells us how to make "primarily gasoline fuel oil and diesel fuel oil" out of such "a gas mixture":
