Senate Democrats Propose Loans for Coal-Based Fuel Plants
By EDMUND L. ANDREWS
WASHINGTON, June 12 — As the Senate began debate Tuesday on a sprawling bill to reduce oil consumption, top Democrats were circulating a proposal to provide $10 billion in loans for plants that make diesel fuel from coal.
The proposal highlights the horse-trading involving powerful industry groups as Democratic leaders push for legislation that would require higher mileage in cars and a huge increase in the production of renewable fuels made from plants like switch grass.
But many environmental groups are flatly opposed. “We don’t think the federal government should be subsidizing liquid coal,” said Erich Pica of Friends of the Earth. “From a global warming and an environmental position, liquid coal is an unacceptable source of energy.”
The bill is being circulated by Senator Jeff Bingaman, Democrat of New Mexico, chairman of the Senate Energy Committee and the energy bill’s lead author. Until this week, Mr. Bingaman had opposed big subsidies for coal-based fuels, saying that each new production plant would cost billions of dollars and that the economic uncertainties posed risks for taxpayers.
But in what could be an effort to fend off demands from coal-state lawmakers for bigger subsidies, Mr. Bingaman’s draft proposal would offer up to $10 billion in direct government loans for coal-to-liquid plants.
Bill Wicker, a spokesman for Mr. Bingaman, said that the draft proposal was “not a Bingaman amendment per se,” but that coal-based fuel was of interest to many lawmakers.
The individual loans would be allowed to cover up to half the total cost of a new plant, and the plants would have to be capable of capturing and storing the carbon dioxide emitted during production.
Numerous companies have proposed coal-to-liquid projects, and industry supporters have said that a plant producing 50,000 barrels of fuel a day would cost at least $3 billion and probably more than $4 billion.
Coal industry supporters say coal-based liquids could replace millions of gallons of gasoline a day, reducing the country’s dependence on imported oil from the Middle East and other troubled areas.
Coal-state lawmakers are pushing for a wide array of government assistance to jump-start the industry. In the House, Representative Rick Boucher, Democrat of Virginia, has drafted a bill that would insulate coal-to-liquid plants from gyrations in energy prices by providing loans if oil prices dropped too low to make coal-based liquids profitable.
Other lawmakers have proposed letting the Air Force sign 20-year contracts to buy vast amounts of coal-based jet fuel at fixed prices. Still others have proposed including coal-based liquids in a government mandate to greatly expand production of alternative fuels.
“A group of us is working on it,” said Senator Byron L. Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota and a strong supporter of liquefied-coal fuel. But Mr. Dorgan cautioned that Mr. Bingaman’s bill was “still a work in progress” and that Democratic leaders had yet to agree on what incentives to include in the measure.
Corey Henry, a spokesman for the Coal to Liquid Coalition, an industry lobbying group, said he was optimistic that the Senate would include some kind of support.
“You can definitely see that there’s a bipartisan effort to achieve a workable coal-to-liquid provision,” Mr. Henry said.
AIR FORCE & FISCHER-TROPSCH BLEND
Air Force aims to use Fischer-Tropsch (FT) blended
U.S. Air Force Goal is to use F-T Fuel Blend for 50% of U.S. Needs by 2016
The U.S. Air Force aims to use Fischer-Tropsch (FT) blended fuels to fill 50% of its jet fuel needs in the U.S. by 2016, William "Bill" Anderson, Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Air Force in charge of installations, environment and logistics told Gasification News during an exclusive interview at the Pentagon.
"Our goal, and it is a very aggressive goal, is to acquire 50% of our domestic fuel needs [from FT-blended fuels]. A lot of our aircraft are in Europe and Asia and downrange in Iraq and Afghanistan, but 50% of our domestic fuel demand, which is about 1.6 billion gallons of the 2.6 billion gallons that we purchase annually, 50% of that (would come) from a domestically produced synthetic fuel blend," he said.
Anderson wants to make sure that the U.S. supplies all of the FT fuel the Air Force buys, and says that from what he has heard, there should be plenty of commercial FT fuel providers in the U.S. by 2016 to be able to fulfill those needs.
"We need to have sources domestically so that we can do the job the American people pay us to do and that is to defend this nation, defend freedom. That is a lot easier to do when we have domestically produced and derived energy sources," the former General Electric senior counsel said.
"If their (synthetic fuels producers’) plans fall into place as they expect, there should be domestic sources available for us. Then again, if this thing really takes hold, let's say our tests are successful and the commercial airline industry and big over-the-road truckers think this is a great idea, demand could easily outstrip the supply."
The Air Force has been sharing its FT fuel testing data with other departments in the government, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as well as with commercial airlines.
"The partnership between FAA, the Department of Energy (DOE) and Air Force has been terrific from what I can see so far. A lot of information is being shared back and forth. We are kind of segregating who's doing what, so we can move as fast as we possibly can," Anderson said.
He said the FAA suggested that commercial certification of FT fuels can run approximately at the same time as Air Force certification, but added that airlines may be able to certify their fleets faster because they have fewer engine types. Additionally, coal-to-liquids (CTL) 50-50 blends with petroleum jet fuel are already used in commercial jet engines for a number of years in South Africa.
"We've got the after-burner engines, fighter aircraft and heavy aircraft. They (commercial airlines) may be able to certify quicker, which would be terrific for everybody," he said.
SHORT SELLER TRICKS- GREEN DOCTRINE
Commentary By
Jim Sinclair
http://www.jsmineset.com/
The Green Doctrine - Short Seller Tricks to Depress Price Starts
ONCE THE SHORTS HAVE TAKEN THEIR POSITIONS, THE OPERATION TO DEPRESS THE PRICE STARTS.
As in the case of RGLD, an article in a major publication clearly attributed to a short seller caused an inappropriate decline in the shares.
THE TATIC MAY HAVE RUN ITS COURSE, LEAVING ONLY LITTLE "WANNABE" MANIPULATORS MAKING POSTINGS THAT RUN FROM SLANDER TO PURE STUPIDITY ON VARIOUS INTERNET CHAT GROUPS.
THESE TRICKS ARE DESIGNED TO LOWER THE PRICE OF YOUR SITUATION BELOW THE AVERAGE OF THE SHORT POSITION WITH ONE DEFINED OBJECTIVE: TO PANIC YOU INTO SELLING VOLUME. THIS CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO BUY THE LEGAL OR ILLEGAL SHORT POSITION AT A SIGNIFICANT PROFIT.
THESE TRICKS ARE DESIGNED TO LOWER THE PRICE OF YOUR SITUATION BELOW THE AVERAGE OF THE SHORT POSITION WITH ONE DEFINED OBJECTIVE; TO PANIC YOU INTO SELLING VOLUME. THIS CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO BUY BACK THE LEAGAL OR ILLEGAL SHORT POSITION AT A SIGNIFICANT PROFIT.
IF YOU HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL COMMITMENT TO AND GOOD REASONS FOR OWNING A CERTAIN PRECIOUS METALS OR MATERIALS SITUATION, HAVING FAILED TO SELL SOME INTO STRENGTH, CONSIDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE SHORT CANNOT PANIC YOU.
THE SHORT FOR YOUR SITUATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE VOLUME SALES AT LOWER PRICES JUST BEFORE GOLD TURNS UP. NOW WHO IS SCREWED?
THE SHORT OF YOUR SITUATION IS OF COURSE, ASSUMING THE SITUATION HAS FUNDAMENTAL WORTH, IN ALL PROBABILITY IT WILL BOLT DIRECTLY THROUGH THE PRICE OF THE AVERAGE SHORT, THEREBY PANICKING THE SHORT INTO PAYING-UP AND UP AND UP TO COVER !!
THE RISK THE SHORT SELLERS TAKES IS INFINITE IN PRICE. ALL THEY CAN POSSIBLY GAIN IS THE PRICE OF THE SHARE. THE SHORT WILL BE EASY TO PANIC BECAUSE OF THIS, EVEN IF HE DEPRESSES THE STOCK BUT FAILS TO GET THE VOLUME REQUIRED TO MAKE THE COVER !!
IF THE SHORT CANNOT PANIC YOU INTO SELLING EMOTIONALLY, YOU WILL PANIC THE SHORT INTO COVERING EMOTIONALLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN A SITUATION DEPENDS ON A COMMODITY LIKE GOLD AND SILVER. This is even more so if you do not have any margin debt to worry about.
BE STRONG AND #### THE HECK OUT OF THE SHORT WHO IS TRYING TO #### THE HECK OUT OF YOU !
BRACE YOURSELF FOR COAL INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Coal is on the comeback
Margret Kopala, The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Monday, May 21, 2007
Brace yourself for another industrial revolution. Coal is back. The highly combustible, carbon-rich mineral deposit that was formed over millions of years from decayed plant matter fuelled the first industrial revolution. More than an economic development, it is etched in the psyche of nations where coal mining meant lives lost, labour strife and the genesis of enduring political movements.
Today, thanks to rapidly developing clean coal technologies, coal is stoking the next industrial revolution. This is good news because despite centuries of accumulated noxious emissions, coal remains embedded in the deepest reaches of the world's economies, where it is the largest single source of electricity and produces over 70 per cent of the world's steel. According to Natural Resources Canada, coal mining, coal transportation and coal-fired electricity generation (25 stations in six provinces) together account for 73,000 jobs and $5.8 billion (1 per cent) of Canada's GDP.
Better still, and unlike oil and gas, it's cheap, exists in abundance around the world and is evenly distributed. This virtually eliminates any geopolitical risk to energy supply. In North America, coal accounts for 90 per cent of all hydrocarbon reserves, which in Canada means an estimated 1,000 years of production remains. And unlike nuclear energy, coal presents no storage problems.
In all, coal promises to fill the gaps in the less reliable renewable sources and to stretch what remains of the non-renewable.
Clean coal technologies are variations on the themes of capturing, storing, reducing and eliminating noxious emissions such as sulphur and nitrogen oxides, as well as the carbon dioxide many believe is responsible for climate change.
Capturing and storing emissions is called carbon sequestration, a process that is being closely studied at the EnCana oil fields near Weyburn in southern Saskatchewan. One of 10 recognized projects by the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum, the International Weyburn Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Project is a collaboration between 19 research organizations in Canada, the United States and Europe, and industry.
Because of declining production, EnCana developed a CO2-enhanced oil recovery project to extend the life of its Weyburn field. Here, CO2 is piped from a coal gasification plant in Beulah, North Dakota and injected into the ground, where it dissolves and dislodges otherwise inaccessible oil.
According to usinfo.state.gov, captured gases can be dissolved in deep oceans or saline aquifers, converted to solid materials, absorbed by grasses, trees, soils and algae, or injected into geologic formations such as old oil and gas fields or coal beds that cannot be mined. Once injected, the CO2 appears to stay put, but geologists are still investigating this, which is why the Weyburn project, now in its second phase, is so important. So far, too, this technology is expensive and is being used mainly for enhancing oil recovery, but full sequestration technology is planned for two power plants, in the U.S. (FutureGen) and Scotland.
In the meantime, EPCOR Utilities Inc.'s 450-megawatt supercritical coal-fired power plant, the first of its kind in Canada, was opened in March 2005 near Edmonton. A Library of Parliament paper published in December, 2005, says higher temperatures and pressures in supercritical boilers create a "more efficient and less emissions-intensive process for generating electricity from coal combustion (that can also) be retrofitted to existing coal-fired units." Supercritical boilers have a proven track record, and a new technology called a Thermo-energy Integrated Power System (TIPS) appears to achieve zero emissions.
Whether climate change, air purity or energy security, clean coal potentially addresses all the issues. Not surprisingly, the world's keenest jurisdictions are jumping on the bandwagon: British Columbia now requires carbon sequestration of all coal-fired projects. In New Brunswick, a task force has called for clean coal technology to be the "benchmark" for any new power plant's performance. A senior U.S. official recently stated "It is the president's view: Technology is the solution," to curb global warming. His top pick? Carbon sequestration.

THE U.S.A. HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE ITS 250 YEAR COAL SUPPLY TO BECOME ENERGY INDEPENDENT WITH THE NEW COAL GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT. SILVERADO HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDSTOCK FOR THE NEW COAL GASIFICATION PLANTS.
Silverado Vice President, Dr.Warrack G. Willson's low-rank coal-water fuel (LRCWF) process using sub-bituminous (low grade) coal is far superior to other bituminous ( high grade) coal feed stock on the world market today. The (LRCWF) process doesn't require any added expensive chemicals to make it burn, like other processes that have cut corners to make their feed stock work.. In tests, the (LRCWF) has a 99.8 % complete combustibility burnout. The (LRCWF) can be used as a feed stock for any coal gasification process that ends up as jet fuel, diesel fuel, natural gas and etc.
The Department of Defense scientists have examined Silverado green fuel inc. hydrothermal treatment process used in creating Green Fuel and commented that they are impressed with both the technology and the possibility of using this alternative energy as a raw feedstock for the production of synthetic fuels. The Low-Rank Coal-Water Fuel (or Green Fuel) produced by Silverado’s Hydrothermal Treatment Process has been identified as a good feedstock for gasification and follow-on Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis to supply clean synthetic fuels.
Silverado’s green fuel can be used for electricity generation or industrial heat. There are hundreds of commercial, industrial and utility oil-designed boilers in use in America today which, with minor adaptations to their feeder components and addition of particulate capture devices, may enjoy Silverado’s Green Fuel, made from America’s abundant reserves of low rank coal. In addition to the above uses, Green Fuel can be used as a feedstock for advanced high-pressure gasifiers like the one developed by Texaco and now marketed by GE as part of their integrated gasification combined cycle Clean Power package. Following gasification the synthesis gas can be used for power generation or reassembled into new petrochemicals such as aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydrogen for fuel cells, plastics, fertilizers, explosives, urea, ammonia, CO2 for enhanced recovery in oil well production, all free of sulfur, heavy metals and particulate matter.

10 GOOD THINGS ABOUT COAL GASIFICATION
The Top 10 Things You Should Know About Gasification
Eastman Gasification Service Company
Kingsport, Tennessee 37662
( excerpt from PDF File)
1. GASIFICATION COVERTS COAL AND OTHER DOMESTIC FEED STOCKS INTO VERY CLEAN USABLE GAS.
2. GASIFICATION IS THE CLEANEST OF ALL COMMERCIAL COAL BASED TECHNOLOGIES.
WHEN USED FOR ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION, GASIFICATION CAN PRODUCE NEAR ZERO AIR EMISSIONS ALONG WITH LOW COLLATERAL PRODUCTION OF SOLID WASTE AND WASTE WATER ( CAN BE NEAR ZERO-DISCHARGE). SULFUR. SLAG (FROM ASH COMPONENTS), AND EVEN CARBON DIOXIDE CAN BE RECOVERED AS RELATIVELY PURE OR INERT BY-PRODUCTS WITH PRODUCTIVE USES IN APPLICATIONS SUCH AS FERTILIZERS, BUILDING MATERIALS AND OR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY.
3. GASIFICATION HELPS CONSERVE VALUABLE WATER RESOURCES.
GASIFICATION USES APPROXIMATELY 30-40% LESS WATER TO PRODUCE ELECTRIC POWER FROM COAL COMPARED TO OTHER COAL BASED GENERATION TECHNOLOGIES.
4. GASIFICATION CAN READILY REMOVE VOLATILE MERCURY
5. GASIFICATION IS A PROVEN AND RELIABLE TECHNOLOGY.
GASIFICATION HAS BEEN PROVEN AT OVER A HUNDRED GLOBAL SITES, INCLUDING OVER A DOZEN GASIFICATION-BASED POWER SITES.
THE FIRST AND THE LONGEST-RUNNING COMMERCIAL COAL GASIFIER IN THE U.S. WAS BUILT IN 1983 BY EASTMAN CHEMICAL COMPANY TO PRODUCE CHEMICALS FROM COAL. THE FIRST DEMONSTRATION-SCALE COAL GASIFICATION BASED POWER GENERATING FACILITY IN THE U.S. WAS BUILT IN 1984, MAKING THE TECHNOLOGY OVER TWENTY YEARS OLD.
6. GASIFICATION COSTS ARE BECOMING INCREASING COMPETITIVE
BECAUSE OF SUSTAINED HIGH AND VOLATILE NATURAL GAS PRICES, ALL COAL-BASED TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY ATTRACTIVE.
7. GASIFICATION PROVIDES THE LOWEST-COST APPROACH FOR CAPTURING CARBON DIOXIDE.
8. GASIFICATION IS A VERY FLEXIBLE AND VERSATILE TECHNOLOGY.
GASIFICATION HAS POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE A WIDE VARIETY OF SINGLE OR MULTIPLE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ELECTRICAL POWER, STEAM, CHEMICALS, FERTILIZERS, ULTRA-CLEAN FUELS, AND/OR HYDROGEN. IN FACT, ALMOST ANY BASIC PRODUCT PRODUCED CURRENTLY FROM REFINERIES OR FROM OIL OR NATURAL GAS CONVERSION CAN ALSO BE PRODUCED FROM GASIFICATION.
9. GASIFICATION PROVIDES THE ONLY FEASIBLE BRIDGE TO A HYDROGEN ECONOMY BASED ON COAL.
GASIFICATION DIRECTLY CONVERTS COAL AND WATER INTO HYDROGEN. WHILE OTHER COAL-BASED TECHNOLOGIES DEPEND ON FIRST CREATING ELECTRICITY FROM THE COAL WHICH IS THEN USED TO ELECTROLYTICALLY SEPARATE HYDROGEN FROM WATER ( A LESS EFFICIENT ROUTE THAN DIRECT CONVERSION).
10. GASIFICATION IS ALREADY A PART OF YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE.
PRODUCTS THAT YOU USE EVERYDAY ARE CURRENTLY MADE USING COAL GASIFICATION, INCLUDING SUCH ITEMS AS ELECTRIC POWER, PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM,
TOOTHBRUSH AND SREW DRIVER HANDLES, MENDING TAPE, PAIN RELIEVERS ,ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, AUTOMOTIVE COATINGS, AND PHARMACEUTICALS.
DOD WILL BUY SILVERADO GREEN FUEL
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE NEWS RELEASE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE WILL BUY SILVERADO GREEN FUEL TO BE A CUSTOMER OF SILVERADO GREEN FUEL, AND DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY IS ALSO ENGAGING
A News.com report on new energy technologies.
Oil at $15 a barrel?
Garry Anselmo is completely serious when he says that his company, Silverado Green Fuel, can produce a liquid fuel for industrial boilers that will cost about the same as oil, if oil sold for $15 a barrel.
For cars, he says the company's processes can be used to produce barrels of "oil" for car fuel that will cost about half of what conventional oil costs today, which is around $50.
What's the secret? Coal , a word that makes most people's flesh crawl. Silverado takes low-grade coal, pulverizes it and cooks it under pressure with water until it develops a waxy coating. The waxy coal particles are then reunited with carbon-infused water removed at an earlier part of the process to make a liquid fuel. So think of it as a coal latte.
The key to the process is that almost no one wants low-grade brown coal, which is about half water. Instead, coal miners and consumers concentrate on anthracite coal, which contains only about 3 percent water.
And there is a lot of coal out there. In the U.S. alone, the existing coal reserves hold enough coal to produce liquid fuel that would be the equivalent of 800 billion barrels of oil, according to a report earlier this year from Dave Edwards at ThinkEquity Partners. The U.S. right now consumes 21 million barrels of oil a day, according to the Treasury Department, so that's a potentially large cushion. (Edwards, though, also notes that coal-to-liquid companies face high capital costs, legislative regulations and other issues. Most of these projects only make sense if oil stays above $40 a barrel for an extended period.)
Silverado will soon break ground on a $26 million plant in Mississippi that will be capable of producing about the equivalent of 111,000 barrels of oil a year. The Department of Energy is working with the company and the Department of Defense has agreed to buy output from the plant, which will become operational in about 1.5 years.
The company, which is a subsidiary of a gold mining company, will also take measures to protect the environment, Anselmo added, including carbon dioxide capture and sequestration at the plant. The fuel also burns fairly cleanly. Nonetheless, he realizes that it will take a massive effort, and proven results, to win over the public.
"Coal is 200 years of dirty. The proof will be in the pudding," he said. "You're not going to get away from that.
Anselmo, though, says he has time. "They've been fighting wars over oil for 300 years. A few more won't make a difference," he said.
new's of buy out are keep under rap. All the other companys I've watched have never keep every one up to date on whats going down until it's a done deal. So I don't understand why every one is so nervious. Relax and try and play out the daily moves.
This should have been good news should it not but buying did not last very long. I was thinking we would go a little over 1.50 oh well hold a little longer.
