Between 20,000 and 41,000
premature deaths annually could be prevented by converting low-quality
coal in the country's western provinces into
synthetic natural gas, according to the findings of researchers from the United States and China published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

China’s energy consumption will increase by 20% over the 2020s, but major efforts to slash the share of fossil fuels means the nation will still meet its emissions obligations under the Paris Agreement, the government said Tuesday.

The scenario consistent with the Five Year Plan target would see coal-to-chemical chemical emissions triple by 2020, to roughly 300 million tons a year.
Suddenly the economics of NCF is starting to make sense! NewCO2Fuels can convert CO2 emissions into syngas according to the ratio required for the plant's final product, and inject the syngas into the existing syngas-to-fuel or syngas-to-chemical facility. At the same time, NCF can supply the plant with oxygen for its gasification process, thus reducing the ASU required capacity and the associated operation cost.
