In a recent article (see ref below) LNC claim:
"
"Above-ground coals-to-liquids create 98 per cent more CO2 than the regular production of diesel," the spokesman said.
"Our below-ground process produces only around 8per cent more emissions than regular diesel production - and the fuel that we produce is cleaner," he said.
"Producing liquid fuels from coal in an above-ground process definitely has a far higher carbon footprint than producing normal diesel, but our underground processes are significantly cleaner because the coal is not mined and the gasification process does not require an energy-intensive process of heating the CO2."
Linc says it is investigating several ways to sequester the carbon from its processes, but does not see this as a prerequisite for its plant to go ahead. "
I think this is rubbish speak! I'm convinced this claim that the UCG-GTL process produces diesel with only 8% more emmissions cannot be true. Tellingly, LNC haven't stated clearly how they achieve this apparent miracle!
