Small-Scale Coal-biomass to Liquids Production Using Highly Selective Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
Project No.: DE-FE0010231


  Artificial Syngas Mixing Panel
  Artificial Syngas Mixing Panel
The Southern Research Institute is conducting research to demonstrate novel transportation-fuel selective Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts for the economical, environmentally-sustainable, and highly selective conversion of coal-derived and coal-biomass-derived syngas to gasoline and diesel. The use of domestic coal resources can be a significant primary energy source for liquid fuel production. The addition of biomass to coal at moderate levels has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of coal-biomass-to-liquid (CBTL) processes to levels below petroleum based fuel production processes.
