Coal is still dirty fuel. Mountain tops get removed, coal dust huge areas in transport. People die mining it, both in inhaling the dust and in accidents to name a few problems. Very disappointing.

Our company MP BioMass - takes the syngas and can produce three renewable energy sources from it, making the process cleaner and with a very profitable ROI. Also, there is NO coal ash produced from the thermal chemical processing. Plus, any coal ash produced in the past can be eliminated with our processing. www.mpbiomass.com We do have an international patent, first commercialized plant was introduced in 2003, and we are backed with a guarantee and insurance that our system will do what it says it will do, by the SACE Group. We have the ear of many industrial plants in the US and overseas.

I really thought this was going to be something like how coke is made. By igniting the fuel in a closed system with some ventilation > goes to capture system, absorber, catalytic converter etc. The coke process burns pretty hot, and it makes carbon bricks for steel production. I always thought if carbon dioxide could be captured, it could be piped or shipped to steel production and used in place of coke. The Co2 then combines with iron to make steel and is captured there. Just wandering thoughts. Oh hey, look what just popped up: "Researchers Build Machine That Turns CO2 Into Fuel". Ask and the answers arrive! http://inhabitat.com/new-machine-turns-co2-into-fuel/ They heat it to very high temperature… so something has to make the fire or electricity.

The inventors and the financiers willing to take a risk will have to sell the coal workers unions on this, that will probably be the most difficult part of introducing this new technology to the market place.
