WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS OF AN ACCELERATED SYNFUELS COMMERCIALIZATION PROGRAM? Although the technology for producing liquid fuels from coal
For example, biomedical research on the carcinogenity of synthetic fuels mixtures is primarily sponsored by the DOE and conducted through its national laboratories, which are viewed by some groups as proponents of synthetic fuel development. Although the technology for producing liquid fuels from coal was first demonstrated by Germany during the 1920's, coal lique-faction is still in an early s...
متن کاملModeling and Environmental Risk Assessment of Eastern Alborz Coal Washing Plant
Mining operations and mineral-related industries are closely and directly related with the environment. The negative impacts of mining industry on the environment, known as environmental risks, must be controlled and managed in a way to minimize harmful and destructive effects. Environmental risk assessment studies are a suitable step to identify, analyze and rank the risk factors. In this stud...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) envisages the need for large-scale deployment of net-negative CO2 emissions technologies by mid-century to meet stringent climate mitigation goals and yield a net drawdown of atmospheric carbon. These CO2 removal technologies complement lowor zero-carbon energy technologies1,2. Industrial-scale sequestration of CO2 from bioenergy production —...
متن کاملHydrocarbon liquefaction: viability as a peak oil mitigation strategy.
Current world capacity of hydrocarbon liquefaction is around 400,000 barrels per day, providing a marginal share of the global liquid fuel supply. This study performs a broad review of technical, economic, environmental and supply chain issues related to coal-to-liquids (CTL) and gas-to-liquids (GTL). We find three issues predominate. First, significant amounts of coal and gas would be required...
