WZeb,

There is a company out of Oklahoma, Syntroleum that has a patented process for Coal gassification using air and not pure oxygen. This process can also convert Natural Gas to sulphur free fuel (with higher flash point). While the air process is not as efficient as the pure oxygen process it has the advantage of a significantly reduced Capital cost.

All of these processes are based on the old German process invented in the late 20's called the Fischer Trophe Process. This process is what allowed Germany to stay in Ww2 as long as they did.

The biggest player in this field today is SASOL. Don't know much more about it but it is very interesting
