Theory and practice both support . From 1960 the switch from coal gas (a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane, manufactured from coal) to natural gas (naturally occurring methane) for use in homes and industry all but killed off the remaining coal tar industry. Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences. Because carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is a freely available resource, there are concerted efforts worldwide to convert this molecule into a chemical feedstock. It is possible to make build an organism from scratch that can have multiple artificial amino acid dependencies so it can't survive without feed stock. Not only do I know how to do the chemical and nuclear balanced equations to see that fission does not release any CO2, but I used to spend months at a time sealed up inside a submarine with an operating reactor that had no smokestack or means of discharging any gases. The next step is to build a 100 kwe unit. "We can take carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and turn it into useful products like fuels and chemicals without having to go through the inefficient process of growing plants and extracting sugars from biomass." . As such, turning the gas into a chemical feedstock, rather than allowing it to escape into the atmosphere, is an extremely appealing idea. Tokyo, July 1, 2008 - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Latest in CO2 Sequestration at Power Plants. German universities recieve funding to develop carbon dioxide-to-feedstock process. Siemens has developed a prototype electrolyzer to use excess wind and solar power to split hydrogen from water. You can also use feedstock from a blast furnace or direct-reduced iron to begin the process for new steel (but this increases costs). (MHI) has signed a license agreement for carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery technology with Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited (ECPL), a diversified chemical company and the second-largest producer of urea The technology to be licensed by MHI separates and recovers CO2 from flue gas emitted during the urea production process and provides the captured CO2 as feedstock for urea and methanol synthesis. In Germany, Siemans, Bayer, RWE, along with unnamed universities and institutes will be receiving 11 million euros over the next three years for a project to convert carbon dioxide into useful chemical feedstocks. Methanol, which was first discovered in the late 1600′s, has found use as a chemical feedstock and as an efficient fuel. This sticky black by-product of the coal gas and coke industries was a major feedstock for the chemical industry from the 1850s, but its use declined after 1920 with the rise of the petrochemical industry.
