Transcript of CO2 Strategy for Coal-to-Liquids

Hydrothermally Derived Activated Carbons for Electrochemical CapacitorsWest Virginia 2014 Energy Summit
CTL > GTL COAL GAS
CO2 as a Feedstock for Fuels & Chemicals
CTL
• Conversion of CO2 to CO with High Efficiency
• Faster Way to Convert CO2 to CO
• Conversion at Ambient Conditions
• CO2 Conversion to Methanol
• CO2 Conversion to Methanol
CO2 Recycle “reuse”
Recycle “reuse”
CO2 recycling to improve XTL efficiency and reduce total CO2 emissions. Zhang et al. (2014) Environmental Science & Technology doi: 10.1021/es501021u

Strategy for Coal-to-Liquids
Technological advances have created many new opportunities for CTL and other sectors to treat CO2 as a value added resource.
