Coal liquefaction, also called mild gasification, began to emerge from the purely experimental stage in the early 1990s

How petrol is made from coal?

Petrol is not directly made from coal, but rather through a process called coal liquefaction. In this process, coal is converted into a liquid form by heating it at high temperatures and pressures with hydrogen. The resulting liquid can then be refined to obtain fuels like petrol. However, coal liquefaction is not commonly used due to its high cost and environmental concerns.


Can coal be recycled?

Coal cannot be recycled in the traditional sense like paper, glass, or metal. However, there are technologies that can convert coal into cleaner forms of energy such as synthetic gas or liquid fuels. This process is known as coal gasification or coal liquefaction.

How can you convert coal to a liquid fuel such as oil?

Yes. This process was invented in the 1920s by Germany. The Coal is converted to a synthetic natural gas (syngas) though a process called Gasification. The syngas is then run through the Fischer-Tropsch process which, through a catalized process, is converted into liquid fuels. A major portion of South Africa's liquid fuels are produced through this process. A Coal-To-Liquid plant is currently in the final stages of the permitting process and expected to be online by 2012. The proposed $5.5 Billion facility in Wellsville, Ohio will produce 53,000 barrells a day of liquid fuels including diesel (or jet fuel) and naptha.

How can you use coal?

Coal can be used as a source of energy by burning it to produce heat, which can then be used for generating electricity, heating homes, and in industrial processes. It is also used in the production of steel and cement due to its high carbon content and energy density. Additionally, coal can be converted into liquid fuels and chemicals through processes like coal gasification and coal liquefaction.


When was coal first used for energy?

Coal was first used 1,000 to 5,000 years ago!


How much does it cost to refine coal?

Coal does not get refined. Oil gets refined, but coal gets used as it is when it comes out of the coal mine. There is a process called coal gassification by which natural gas can be made from coal, but that is not really a form of refining, and in any event, most coal is simply burned, it is not gassified.
