Peak Coal and the Fischer-Tropsch process

08.01.2008 11:09

Of course it needs to be left in the ground to try to mitigate the climate crisis, however with the likes of China and the US military looking at using the Fischer-Tropsch process (  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer-Tropsch_process ) to produce liquid fuel from coal this is going to be a very hard battle to win.

It appears that we are looking at 2025-ish for global peak coal (peak oil appears to have happened already or is imminent) -- check out this excellent roundup of the coal situation by Chris Vernon:

coal / fossils in poland

28.03.2008 15:51

For every tonne of coal mined, only 25kg gets used by man... says a nice English-speaking man in Vroswav geology institute. After seeing some pieces of carbon with shapes of fern leaves and stuff imprinted, he's just taken me through some of the finer points of the fascinating question of carbon fossils. Though it's unscientific, he used the analogy of mining side-effects, "The breathe of Gaia" being huge and complex. An other example being frozen methane clathrate seen to spontaneously bubble out from under the sea.
He said something amazing about emissions from coal-mining.
