Benefits of coal liquefaction technology

摘要

A new report researched by Energy Business Reports examines how coal liquefaction offers environmental benefits,cost savings and energy security.Road trials of coal-based fuels have shown that significant local air quality improvements can be achieved through the reduction of tailpipe emissions.Some studies suggest particulate emissions can be up to 75% less than with traditional diesel,and NO_x can be reduced up to 60%.Optimizing new engines for these fuels will offer even greater reductions,particularly of NO_x,according to this analysis.New engine design,such as direct injection,will offer yet greater efficiencies.
