«We capture impurities» While Huaneng is leading the way in capturing carbon for coal - fired power plants, an industry that is traditionally tied with CCUS, the Chinese coal giant Shenhua is trying to adopt CCUS technology in a new sector: factories that produce
chemicals out of coal.

Now they can actually make jet fuel
out of the
coal; hence state researcher Harold Schobert announced last week at a meeting
of the American
Chemical Society that he had made jet fuel that's half from bituminous
coal and they successfully powered a jet engine with it.
Today, photosynthesis is considered «the most important
chemical reaction on earth», providing food for humans and animals, releasing oxygen for them to breathe — and millions
of years later, this process provides fossil fuel in the form
of oil,
coal and natural gas, as Michel likes to point
out.
Their tales reflect those
of many Charleston area residents, who found
out on January 9 that their tap water had been contaminated with a
chemical used in
coal processing.
If we take the Politicians, Oil,
Coal &
Chemical companies
out of the picture for a moment and just look at the people that they designed their Skeptical Anti-man induced Global Warming spins for... you clearly see a huge group
of hateful and stupid people who don't care what the issue is about, as long as it deviates from what they consider a Liberal view... they're happy.
Fossil Fuel is a generic term that isn't quite correct Natural Gasoline is a distilled derivative
of oil but almost all ofit is manufactured from cracked and recombined oil derivativeswhile natural gasoline is further refined intoPropane, butane, Proproline (a plastics feed stock), and Natural gasand also separates
out sulfur (for fertilizer and explosives) Gasoline can be made from
coal («Coaline») or from organic matter («Bio-fuel») but uses a few
of oil based feed stocks instead tomake «Sythiline» (artificial gasoline) This gasoline is actually cleaner burning then natural gas with allit's «flare offs» (butane, propane, propoline, sulfur) used in theearly 19th century because it is manufactured only with essentialHydrocarbons Diesel fuel is also becoming more and more Manufactured instead ofdistilled as demand for it rises but improvements in Hydro cleaningis allowing for diesel with no volatile
chemicals like sulfur andmercury (taken
out for petro -
chemical feedstock to make fertilizerand thermometers) In both cases what you have is pure hydro - carbons, a carbon atomwith hydrogen atoms attached to it In the case
of gasoline there is CH1, cH7, CH11 When in a combustion engine the gasoline is sprayed into the pistonafter being mixed with air and the drive
of the engine compressesthe the chamber filled with the gasoline mist until it's full downstoke then the spark plug causes the Exothermic reaction... which isthe conversion
of the potential energy in the gasoline mist to heatand force, with the force side
of that equation shooting the pistonupward and the top
of the stroke kicking what's left
of thecaramelized gasoline mist
out into the Emission control box If the Emulsion control box wasn't there to filter
out the burntgasoline particles, any potential additives and volatile chemicalsthen the caramelized gunk hitting air would create CARBON MONOXIDEin the cooler then the heat
of the engine difference CARBON MONOXIDE can also become a problem if the Emissions controlBox filter, air filters or muffler filters is worn or damaged.
Also, the amount
of energy converted from solar to
chemical energy will be a small effect compared to the reduction in greenhouse warming resulting from taking CO2
out of the atmosphere (much like burning
coal doesn't release much energy compared to the increase in greenhouse effect warming), so you don't even have the right negative feedback.
Good news for BP Plc. and other oil,
coal and
chemical companies seeped
out last week from New Orleans, barely noticed in the blanket coverage
of the as - yet uncontrolled oil gusher in the Gulf
of Mexico.
