New Coal Additives for Energy Efficiency & Emission Reduction

The Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently announced the co-invention of two new coal additives which can improve coal efficiency by 7-12%, and also reduce emissions by nearly 30%.The two new coal additives, CHARNA C and CHARNA CO2, co-developed by the Shanghai Institute and Beijing Charna Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals, have been selected by the National Development and Reform Commission as key national promotion products for energy saving and emission reduction.

Twenty tons of such liquid additives have been used to conduct fuel-burning performance tests at more than ten factories and institutes such as Chongqing Titanium Industry and Beijing Research Institute of Coal Chemistry.Test results show that the new additives improve coal efficiency by 7-12%, reduce sulphur dioxide emissions by 24-33%, and nitrogen oxide emissions by 17%.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
