The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has released a follow-on study to its 2009 evaluation of the economic and environmental performance of Coal-to-Liquids (CTL) and CTL with modest amounts of biomass mixed in (15% by weight) for the production of zero-sulfure diesel fuel. Earlier post.). —White and Gray.
The EMS (Earth and Mineral Science) Energy Institute at Penn State has developed a conceptual novel process configuration for producing clean middle-distillate fuels from coal with some algal input with minimal emissions. Principal inputs are coal, water, non-carbon electricity, and make-up solvent. Schobert (2015) Click to enlarge.
This project, managed by FE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), will be partially funded with $450 million from DOE’s Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI). The plant will produce power by converting sub-bituminous coal into hydrogen-rich synthesis gas (syngas) and CO 2.
For purposes of this rule, fossil fuel-fired EGUs include utility boilers, IGCC units and certain natural gas-fired stationary combustion turbine EGUs that generate electricity for sale and are larger than 25 megawatts (MW). The proposed rulemaking establishes separate standards for natural gas and coal plants.
The amended bill, now called the “American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012” and next to be considered by the House, contains 12 extensions outlined in Title IV of the bill, ranging from extension of production credits for Indian coal facilities to benefits for alternative fuels (including algal biofuels) and plug-in vehicles.
Some water resources also flow up to energy resources (petroleum, biomass, natural gas, and coal). coal, natural gas, geothermal and nuclear) into electricity. Water used in coal mining may be consumed or discharged to surface water supplies. General location of energy and water categories.
For purposes of this rule, fossil-fuel-fired EGUs include fossil-fuel-fired boilers, integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) units and stationary combined cycle turbine units that generate electricity for sale and are larger than 25 megawatts (MW). Coal with carbon capture and storage (CCS): 200 lbs CO 2 /MWh.
The following Transphorm products are now available for sale as evaluation samples through the Transphorm website to approved customers: TPS30xxPK series – 600 V, 2-4-6 A, GaN diode in the industry standard TO-220 package. TPH3006PS- 600V, 180 mohm GaN transistor in the industry standard TO-220 package.
GTL systems from the companies can also be used to process coal and biomass assets providing the ability to convert these natural gas streams into useable products including diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. By combining the capabilities of both companies, the time to deploy plants capable of processing flared or vented gas will be reduced.
To legislate to ensure only the cleanest domestic fuels will be available for sale, preventing 8,000 tonnes of harmful particulate matter from entering the atmosphere each year. Of particular concern, the government noted, is burning wood and coal to heat a home which contributes 38% of UK emissions of damaging particulate matter.
The drawback to these technologies is that fossil fuels (principally oil and coal) are still used to produce the electricity that powers these vehicles, thereby eliminating some of the potential gains. Therefore, it is not clear whether there would be a substantial reduction in emissions by switching to these new powertrain technologies.
million (US$118 million) to produce renewable diesel and bio-naphta in the Baltic Sea area for sale to a market primarily of diesel and gasoline retailers. The novel gasification technology will convert the biomass into gas before a gas-to-liquid conversion renders it fit for biofuels production.
A number of forward-thinking Ontarians, unwilling to wait for the automakers to deliver an electric car for sale after more than 40 years of promises, and thinking Premier McGuinty and MTO would support their initiative based on public statements made by the Premier and Minister, have made their own electric cars.

Plug-In Hybrids Are Cleaner (Even on a Coal Grid) [ to top ] This entire section is finally obsolete -- because we now have a definitive study by the Electric Power Research Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Three more points: Both reports match up well with previous studies. The GREET 1.6
The trouble is you then have to stop right away, which brings about some pretty strong regenerative braking action, something that Chrysler needs to work on before making the Circuit available for sale. Well, the cheapest source is from steam reformed fossil fuels, and that process produces CO2, especially when that fossil fuel is coal.
last year put itself up for sale after a slump in the cobalt price left it struggling to finish key projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and London-based Horizonte Minerals Plc scaled back work on its Brazilian nickel mine as it searches for funds to complete construction, and announced an emergency USD 20 million financing late last year.
They couldn’t tell the difference between a bright day at the beach and being in a coal mine in Pittsburgh. Within weeks, most of its physical assets—including manufacturing equipment, scientific instruments, laptops, and shelving—went up for sale at auction. I never have any regrets about doing this.” Jeroen Perk. Bob O’Connor.
It would then be offered for public use in 2012, said Brian Carolin, senior vice president for sales and marketing at Nissan North America Inc. Coming to public in 12 Nissans first electric car is to go into corporate and government fleets beginning in late 2010.
We believe such production models could be available for sale in three years."Furia GM is committed to putting the system in the Chevrolet Volt for sale by 2010, Lutz said. Kwong said Toyota is concerned PHEVs might just replace gas problems with more coal emissions, since the cars will require more electricity from utilities.
So far GM, Toyota, Nissan, VW, Mitsubishi, have all announced plug in vehicles they will have for sale in 2010. And start speaking up and speaking out against patently stupid and dangerous ideas like drilling for more oil domestically or using our abundant coal resources. That’s 18 months away. Walk the walk why don’t you?

Last year Oregon had also aggressively negotiated with the Chinese carmaker, BYD , to manufacture its line of plug-in hybrids in the state for sale in the U.S.) Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. If you charge with solar, is way less.
Thats because electric engines are more efficient than internal-combustion engines, and because generating energy on a large scale (in coal or nuclear plants) is less wasteful than doing it on a small scale (by burning gasoline in an internal-combustion engine). 107.12% Rite Aid Corporation 0.66 40.40% Unisys Corporation 1.49
