Commercialization of Coal-to-Liquids Technology
New report shows how coal liquefaction offers environmental benefits, cost savings, and energy security.
Phoenix, AZ – January 20, 2007 – Energy Business Reports publishes a new report on "Commercialization of Coal-to-Liquids Technology" examining how the use of coal liquification technologies may help America wean itself of foreign oil imports. CTL fuel is already in use elsewhere, like South Africa, where it meets 30 percent of transportation fuel needs.
Through liquefaction or coal-to-liquids technology (CTL), a process of converting solid coal into liquid fuels and/or chemicals, coal can be made into liquid fuel such as gasoline or diesel and used as a substitute for petroleum products. Coal-based fuels can be used directly in today’s vehicles, with no need for modification.
Road trials of coal-based fuels have shown that significant local air quality improvements can be achieved through the reduction of tailpipe emissions. Some studies suggest particulate emissions can be up to 75% less than with traditional diesel, and oxides of nitrogen can be reduced by up to 60%. The optimization of new engines for these fuels will offer even greater reductions, particularly of nitrogen oxides. New engine design, such as direct injection, will offer yet greater efficiencies.
Coal liquefaction is a well-developed technology, and given the large coal reserves in the U.S., coal-based fuels could rapidly replace other sources of transportation fuel to meet Future needs.
While coal itself is a low efficiency fuel and a notorious polluter, advanced gasification technologies can convert over 95 percent of coal fuel into a combustible gas, commonly called syngas. Syngas consists mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen and can be used like natural gas to efficiently generate electricity through an integrated gas turbine/steam turbine combined cycle. Syngas is also a basic feedstock for manufacturing a range of chemicals and synthetic fuels, such as hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, dimethyl ether, and Fischer-Tropsch gasoline and diesel, which can substitute for oil.
The positive impacts of coal-based fuel include long-term environmental advantages ranging from the reclamation of decades-old coal waste piles and the mining of secondary coal sources, to possible ways to reduce hazardous emissions in coal combustion.
Emissions from coal-fired power plants represent the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions, a primary cause of global warming. However, the process of coal liquefaction is a clean and efficient one, and there are no harmful gases released into the atmosphere, thus helping the climate. While the coal to liquids process is more CO2 intensive than conventional oil refining, there are options for preventing or mitigating emissions. Due to the broad global distribution of coal reserves, emissions may be avoided through shorter fuel transport distances. For coal to liquids plants, carbon capture and storage (CCS) can be a low cost method of addressing CO2 concerns and may result in greenhouse gas emissions being some 20% lower over the full lifecycle than fuels derived from crude oil.
Coal liquefaction increases energy efficiency by diversifying the power systems of a country and giving rise to more renewable sources for energy, thus decreasing a country’s dependency on large power plants and reliance on a vulnerable infrastructure in case of natural disasters or terrorist acts.
Tightening oil markets and record high prices have brought U.S. oil vulnerability back into focus, and hurricane Katrina demonstrated how quickly oil supply disruptions could impact the country. Coal liquefaction has emerged as the perfect solution as it would reduce the dependence on energy imports and also cuts down the reliance of countries on oil, thus reducing vulnerabilities in national security. With approximately 20% of global coal reserves, the U.S. has more than a 250-year supply at current consumption levels and more coal then any other country in the world.
This report on coal-to-liquids technology looks in detail at the various technologies and methodologies for liquefying coal, the economics of CTL development, key players in the global market, the advantages and disadvantages of liquid coal, and the market outlook for CTL as a fuel source. The report also details 14 real-life projects and profiles major industry players.

Mit neuem Gesetz sollen Milliarden an Subventionen für Öl und Gas in die erneuerbaren Energien umgeleitet werden
WASHINGTON taz Die Demokraten im US-Kongress wollen die erneuerbaren Energien massiv fördern. Donnerstag haben sie ein Gesetz auf den Weg gebracht, mit dem die milliardenschweren Subventionen für die Öl- und Gaskonzerne in den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien umgeleitet werden sollen. Mit dem Geld soll ein Fonds mit einem Volumen von 14 Milliarden Dollar (10,8 Milliarden Euro) für alternative Energien eingerichtet werden. Die Demokraten würden mit dem Gesetz eines der größten Zugeständnisse der Republikaner an die Industrie in den vergangenen Jahren rückgängig machen.
Das Geld soll in erneuerbare Energien, Biosprit oder Projekte für Energieeinsparung fließen. Die Demokraten, die seit Beginn des Jahres in beiden Häusern die Mehrheit haben, wollen die Energiepolitik zu einer ihrer Prioritäten machen. Sie werfen der Regierung von US-Präsident George W. Bush vor, den Ölkonzernen des Landes zu sehr entgegengekommen zu sein.

SILVERADO - OTCBB: SLGLF / Frankfurt: SLGL / Berlin: SLGL
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070122/to448.html?.v=12
FAIRBANKS, AK, and VANCOUVER, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - "Silverado has committed decades of work to the exploration, development and test mining of gold and after sixteen years of extensive work at the Nolan property, we are zeroing in on this potentially huge source of gold," said Silverado CEO Garry Anselmo. "We are very pleased with the 2006 field season's significant gains achieved for a lode gold/antimony deposit and are now initiating an active exploration program for 2007."
During the fall period of Silverado's 2006 exploration program, the company carried out a total of 920 feet of backhoe trenching to investigate gold bearing antimony-quartz vein systems (Au - Sb - Qtz) in an area north of Smith Creek
http://www.silverado.com/nolancreek2006). This area is part of the Solomon Shear, a five mile long gold bearing shear zone, which appears from all information gathered to date to be part of the source area of placer gold in the Nolan valley (see press releases from August 04, 2006 and October 30, 2006).
Trenching successfully identified three zones that contain antimony-gold-quartz veins (See Fig. 1 - http://www.silverado.com/january222007/figure1.htm). The "main zone" containing 16 veins has a width of 190 feet (60m). The widths of the Au - Sb - Qtz veins vary from a quarter inch to seven inches. Spacing of veins also varies, from a quarter inch to several feet. Note on the Figure 2 pictures, (http://www.silverado.com/january222007/figure2.htm) the effect of weathering on the gold as it erodes or weathers out of the veins over the thousands of years, thereby changing from crystalline gold with distinct edges and sharp features, to become rounded gold nuggets (lode gold to placer gold).
A total of 71 combined chip and channel rock samples were collected during the trenching program and submitted to ALS Chemex in Fairbanks for analysis. Out of these 71 samples, 32 show values higher than 0.01 ounces of gold per ton (opt) and range from 0.01 opt to 0.83 opt. (see Table 1 below). These results confirm that high-grade lode gold mineralized quartz veins exist in the Solomon Shear Zone.

In addition to the gold values, 23 of the 71 trench samples show antimony values higher than 0.1%, and ranging from 0.1% Sb to more than 5% Sb. A total of 12 samples show antimony values higher than 5%. This high grade antimony is a valuable product along with gold on this property. Preliminary metallurgical tests on Nolan antimony showed combined lead and arsenic present in amounts less than 0.1%. This constitutes some of the purest antimony in existence and would command premium prices. Currently antimony sells at $US 2.56 per pound. Assays greater than 5% (laboratory detection limit) are being re-assayed for total antimony. Final grades will be used to ascertain the combined gold/antimony value per ton of this important discovery.
One RC drill hole (06SH01) was drilled to check for down-dip continuity of the Au - Sb - Qtz veins of the "main zone" (Fig. 1 - http://www.silverado.com/january222007/figure1.htm). The assay results will be released as soon they become available.

Hey thanks for the news report. That one hole with 5% antimony and .83opt gold is probably worth about:
.83opt X 630 = $522.9 gold/ton and
2000lbs/ton X 5/100 ( 5% grading) X $2.56 = $256/ton
TOTAL = $522 gold + $256 antimony = $778 combined gold antimony per ton

Silverado gibt die Entdeckung der ersten hochwertigen Goldader auf Nolan
bekannt
22. Januar 2007 - Fairbanks, Alaska - \'Silverado hat viele Jahrzehnte
Arbeit in die Exploration, Entwicklung und Erprobung von Gold gesteckt und
nun, nach 16 Jahren intensivster Arbeit auf der Nolan Liegenschaft kreisen
wir endlich die potenziell riesige Goldquelle ein. Wir sind mit den
Ergebnissen die in der Feldsaison 2006 erzielt wurden (Depot mit gold- und
antimonhaltiger Erzader) sehr zufrieden und veranlassen nun ein aktives
Explorationsprogramm für das Jahr 2007\', sagte Garry Anselmo, CEO von
Silverado.
Im Herbst des 2006 Explorationsprogramms, zog das Unternehmen Gräben von
insgesamt etwa 280 m Länge um die goldhaltigen Antimon-Quartz-Systeme in
einem Gebiet nördlich des Smith Creek zu erforschen (um die Karte dieser
Gegend aufzurufen gehen Sie bitte auf
http://www.silverado.com/nolancreek2006 ). Dieses Gebiet ist Teil der
Solomon Shear, einer etwa 8 km langen goldhaltigen Zone, die anscheinend
(nach Auswertung aller zur Verfügung stehender Informationen) Teil des
Quellengebietes für das Seifenerzgold im Nolan Tal ist. (Siehe auch die
Pressemeldung vom 4. August 2006 und 30. Oktober 2006)
Durch die Grabenziehung wurden drei Zonen mit Antimon-Gold-Quartz-Adern
entdeckt (siehe Bild 1-
http://www.silverado.com/january222007/figure1.htm). Die \'Hauptzone\'
enthält 16 Adern und hat eine Weite von ca. 60 m. Die Weite der
Gold-Antimon-Quartz-Aderns variiert von 1,3 cm bis 17,8 cm. Die Abstände
zwischen den Adern variieren ebenfalls von etwa 1,3 cm bis zu mehreren
Metern. (Siehe auch die Figure 2 Bilder -
http://www.silverado.com/january222007/figure2.htm). Durch Wetterinflüsse
und Erosionen in tausenden von Jahren verändert sich dieses Gold von
scharfkantigem Kristallgold zu weicheren, runden Gold Nuggets (Erzgold zu
Waschgold).
Insgesamt wurden im Rahmen des Grabenprogramms 71 Proben gesammelt und zur
Analyse zu ALS Chemex nach Fairbanks gebracht. Von diesen 71 Proben wiesen
32 Werte von über 0,01 Unzen Gold pro Tonne (opt) auf, in einer
Größenordnung von 0,01 opt bis 0,83 opt (siehe auch Tabelle weiter unten).
Diese Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass die hochgradigen Gold-Quartz-Adern in
der Solomon Shear Zone existieren

hattest also letztens ne richtige vermutung vodka:
post vom 19.01 von vodka:
Weiss eigentlich jemand was mit dem Gold so geht? Ich würde gerne wissen wie weit die mit der Suche nach der Goldader sind.
SWay 19.01.07 12:14
sway's scheiss antwort, die total überflüssig war:
ich werde Anselmo mal ne mail schicken er
braucht keine News mehr veröffentlichen, sie liesst ja eh keiner oder vergisst sie sofort wieder... *fg*
dein *frechgrins* kannste dir jetzt sonst wo hinstecken :)
siehste sway : musst die leute hier nicht gleich dumm anmachen
schaut euch mal den 1 jahr chart an
klarer aufwärtstrend seit 3,4 wochen erkennbar
wenn jetzt noch news su greenfuel hinterhergeschmissen werden
sehen wir die 20 cent noch diese woche
oder was meint ihr?
Die Krönung wäre jetzt noch, wenn Silverado zum Produzenten werden würde. Aber wer weiss was noch vor uns liegt? Vielleicht passierts ja schon bald...
Jedenfalls haben wir zurzeit einen gesunden und hoffentlich nachhaltigen Anstieg.
Weiterhin Glück auf an alle Investierten...
In den Vorlagen für den Gesetzentwurf finden sich weitere wichtige Punkte: Die neue Abgeltungsteuer auf Kapitalerträge von 25 Prozent soll erst 2009 greifen. Sie soll auch nur für Wertpapiere und andere Geldanlagen gelten, die ab 2009 angeschafft werden. Für alte Anlagen gilt noch altes Recht. Wer diese also ab 2009 verkauft und die zurzeit noch geltende Spekulationsfrist von einem Jahr abgewartet hat, kann den Wertzuwachs steuerfrei kassieren.
LB
Dann wird sich nämlich enscheiden ob und wieviele Stop-Buy "hier" liegen...
sieht auf jeden Fall aber seeeehr gut aus.
Derjenige der gerade 32500 in einen steigenden Kurs verkauft hat wird nicht sehr glücklich sein...
