Liquid Coal : ]]

by: Sunny



In the U.S. coal is an easily obtainable, abundant sorce of energy. This great fossile fuel comes with a price, though. It is contributing to global green house gases, and possibly contributing to global warming. However, liquid coal is a up-and-coming more atmosphere-friendly source. The Germans used liquid coal fuel in WW II, due to a limited supply of Petroleum. Nowadays though, it is seen as a eco-friendly alternative to original coal. There is a catch however; while liquid coal has the same amount of carbon emissions as gasoline, which is true after processing, the process of making it so efficient releases more CO2 than coal.
