Hi folks! Good day. Thought I'd let you know we have started an exclusive community for algae fuels at CleanTick. Ask and answer questions, and participate in the Algae Fuels Challenge

W2 Energy Combine Coal Gasification and Algae Cultivation

September 15th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Algae-CO2-Capture

W2 Energy will be using the Pennsylvania coal to show the industry that its technology will make 100% clean fuel plus electricity from the Pennsylvania coal. 

W2 Energy will be gasify the coal in the NT Plasmatron non thermal plasma reactor. In the NT Plasmatron, this high-quality Pennsylvania coal will turn into syngas and will also generate heat. The heat will be turned into electricity via the SteamRay Steam Engine, and the syngas will be turned into jet fuel, gasoline and diesel fuel in the MultiFuel Gas-to-Liquid Reactor. W2 Energy will also be absorbing the greenhouse gases generated by the coal with its SunFilter Algae Reactor plant previously announced on August 13th 2009.

    The use of sophisticated software systems for coal mining (thermal coal, steam coal and metallurgical coal) that is mostly burnt for power generation and steel production and adds to the greenhouse effect is valid for western countries who may allocate resources and funds to alternative and more greener sources of power. Some of the alternatives may be “safer” than the traditional mines. Unfortunately, coal reports and coal statistics show developing economies are more likely to increase their use of thermal coal & metallurgical coal in coming years because of its affordability and to meet increasing demands for electricity and steel. Whether they will embrace and utilise sophisticated software systems that no doubt add to the cost of production is yet to be seen. Ian http://www.coalportal.com
