United States Patent Application: 0140251819
We're presenting herein a formal disclosure of technology developed by the Pennsylvania State University for, ostensibly, perhaps primarily, extracting Hydrogen from the abundant Water, H2O, molecule - - in a process which can be driven by heat energy derived from environmental sources, specifically solar, or, from industrial or chemical process waste heat.
The process is enabled through the leverage of "osmosis", coupled with membrane filtration technology, as will be seen, and to an extent explained, further on.

Carbon Dioxide, as is co-produced in only a small way, relative to some all-natural and non-political sources of it's emission, such as the Earth's inexorable processes of planetary volcanism, from our economically essential use of Coal in the generation of truly abundant and genuinely affordable electric power, could and should be treated as a valuable raw material resource.
We can reclaim Carbon Dioxide from whatever source most convenient to us, and then convert that Carbon Dioxide directly into fuel alcohols of nearly immense utility.

We have, of course, presented many reports here concerning South Africa's Coal conversion industry, wherein South Africa Synthetic Oil Limited, "SASOL", has been converting Coal at multiple factories into synthetic petroleum fuels for well more than half a century.
Sasol utilizes a modern version of the nearly-ancient Fischer-Tropsch process for converting Coal into liquid hydrocarbons, a technique known generically as "indirect" Coal conversion, since Coal is first partially combusted to form a "synthesis gas", or "syngas" blend of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen. The syngas is then catalytically, chemically condensed into hydrocarbons.

The Carbon Dioxide "game" is over. And so is OPEC's reign of economic tyranny.
If our Coal Country news media could ever screw up the guts to tell us, or put away their own delusional fascination with the ephemeral shale gas tulip mania to focus on developments related to the bedrock of American energy, Coal, we would no longer have to put up with the threats of CO2 Cap and Trade tax extortions on our economically essential Coal-fired electric power generation industries, or other duplicitous and vile greenhouse gas CO2 nonsense and threats - - and, we all could, as a nation, tell OPEC exactly where they could start pumping their over-priced oil.
