ConvertCoal, Inc.
ConvertCoal, Inc. has developed new proprietary coal-to-liquids process
technologies to convert sub-bituminous and lignite low-rank coals (LRC) into
synthetic crude oil (SCO) and upgraded clean-coal fuel. The unique CCI process
resolves key technical limitations inhibiting the commercial viability of LRC
conversion to refinery-ready SCO and environmentally acceptable clean-coal fuel
for power generation.

Domestic Oil Supply Security
Based on current LRC production, up to 2 million barrels per day of
domestic synthetic crude oil can be produced by operating the new CCI coal
conversion process at existing LRC
power plants. This is equivalent to producing one quarter of the current
domestic oil production and ten percent of the current oil demand in the USA.
The CCI process yield of synthetic crude oil product matching midrange crude oil
refinery feedstock quality is 16 - 18-w% of the feed-coal (on water and ash-free
basis) equivalent to 0.7 - 0.8-barrel oil per ton low-rank coal.
Efficient, Cleaner Energy Supply
With the enabling CCI process technology, the large domestic LRC resource
can simultaneously provide a sustainable 200-year supply of SCO for motor fuel
production and clean coal for electric power supply while substantially
improving the energy conversion efficiency and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
The co-product yield of clean-coal fuel for power generation is
approximately 65% of the feed-coal energy. The CCI process typically removes
two-thirds or more of the sulfur, most of the mercury and all the water from LRC.
The produced clean-coal fuel therefore has substantially higher heating value
and lower emissions that can meet the next generation emissions standards.
