Economical clean carbon fuel and co-product gaseous and liquid from coal
Abstract
Unlike its predecessors, the HYDROCARB Process converts coal or other carbonaceous feedstock to a clean carbon fuel and co-product gaseous hydrogen- and/or methane (CH{sub 4})-rich gas and/or liquid methanol. Feedstock carbon content is essentially extracted as pure particulate carbon, free of sulfur, nitrogen, and ash. By eliminating the need to manufacture large quantities of hydrogen, lower capital cost and higher thermal efficiency result compared to previous coal-to-synthetic-fuel processes, allowing production of carbon fuel and at a price competitive with current energy prices. Combustion testing has shown that carbon fuel can be burned in conventional combustion and heat engine equipment with minimum modification. The HYDROCARB Process also can reduce CO{sub 2} emissions for mitigating the greenhouse problem. 5 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
