Coal Power

The next term to feature in the Green Steel Challenge Glossary is: Coking Coal Coking Coal contains certain properties that suit it to iron making, unlike the thermal or steaming coal that is used in power stations/industrial or domestic heating. Also unlike steaming coal, when heated in the absence of air, coking coal forms a hard and sponge-like material which is called coke. Need clarity on steel industry terminology?

Here is another zombie coal power plant, this one in Shippingport PA. We frequently hear about coal power plants being closed but apparently a lot of those plants are just being converted to natural gas instead. And knowing what we now do about the vast amount of upstream natural gas planned venting to the atmosphere going on that's means moving to natural gas hasn't resulted in any actual improvement of GHG equivalencies, indeed it's just worse! But here are my predictions about the chances to this power plant. 1) It will include state of the art carbon capture equipment for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) uses. 2) The CO2 captured here will win the plant all sorts of glowing greenwash headlines about how the captured CO2 is going to be pumped back underground! Woo hoo let's pop the champagne bottles and celebrate (which BTW will quite fittingly emit a symbolic bit of CO2 of their own) 3) The majority of the captured CO2 will indeed be compressed to a Supercritical CO2 state then transported back to an oil field somewhere and pumped back down the well, back down the well where that SC-CO2 just accidentally and entirely coincidentally happens to be a super good solvent for dislodging more oil (and more natural gas) as part of a process know a Advanced Oil Recovery. 2) A little later on that soup of oil gas and liquid CO2 is going to be sucked back up the well and the pressure released and the CO2 and the gas will be seperated. Some of the CO2 will be recovered and pumped back downhole to get more O&G and some will end up being released into the atmosphere. And some fraction of that CO2 will indeed remain stranded (not sequestered) behind underground. And remember that CO2 is really really good at burrowing in through rock pores that oil and natural gas can't, so even after we stop trying to suck it back up, it's going to keep creeping it's way through the geology, and eventually it's going to find a way out! Meanwhile back at that zombie coal power plant reborn as a natural gas power plant, not needing space for mountains of coal anymore, they are going to have room to install server farms to do bit mining and calculating AI stuff like what is the best algorithm for getting people to eat warmed over FF BS by giving a sweet sparklingcoat of green wash! https://lnkd.in/gUi74pTB

What is Anthracite? Strong coal or hard coal, also known as anthracite, is hard, has a compact a submetallic lustre. It is the highest rating among coals because of it superior carbon content, less impurities and the highest energy density. Anthracite is the most metamorphosed coal with carbon weight content of 65 to 98 percent from different resources and is difficult to ignite and while in Ignition it produces a brief, blue, smokeless flame... #carbonblack #Carbon #Rubber #ZistaGroup #tyre #ThermalBlack #Anthracite https://lnkd.in/dzWnVvEp

It’s practically impossible to supply enough copper to carry the energy transition. “Copper can make all sorts of green solutions a reality, from building out power lines and transport to clean energy and electric car manufacturing. BloombergNEF calculates that, based on the way copper is used today, reaching the world’s most ambitious climate goals would require a fourfold rise in consumption.” We cannot afford to waver on critical climate goals, Galvorn can be used as an alternative to copper in many use cases, helping us stay the course on electrifying everything. Galvorn is conductive, making it a suitable replacement for copper in many applications including electric vehicles, aerospace, and power line manufacturing. #Galvorn #Copper #Manufacturing #ElectrifyEverything #EnergyTransition #SuperMaterial
