Jerome Corsi: Oil creation process discovered by Nazi's kept hidden by US Govt

[Stanb999]

We has gassification plants in the U.S. during WWII...

Several (WWII) war plants in Pennsylvania were built with coal-gassification facilities for alternative power because of the nearby abundance of anthracite coal. The former Alcoa plant near Pottsville PA is one such plant with a coal gassification plant on its grounds that has pretty much sat idle and crumbling away since the 40's. (The gassification building is now unusable and has been slowly stripped out for repair parts for the rest of the facility over the last 30 years)

Coal gassification was very expensive, but like most other war projects during that period money was no object compared to a shutdown due to a fuel shortage. The process in the 1940's was centered on converting coal into a gaseous fuel to run the furnaces throughout the plant, the newer process adds a few steps to turn the gas into a liquid fuel.

Current plans are in the works to transform literal mountains of waste anthracite coal (culm) into the feeder stock for modern plants. Basically, turning something useless that coal companies can't pay to get rid of into liquid fuel without affecting current coal production.

sorry, I finally had something to contribute

It's not that coal gas or producer gas was expensive. Natural gas was cheaper.
With the big discoveries in nat gas. I doubt those plants will be built.

Of course oil and natural gas can be made abiotic...

Ever wonder where those clouds of methane and that methane snow on Jupiters moons comes from?

To make a chained hydrocarbon.

Heat carbon to crucible temperatures with minimal oxygen. But plenty of water.
You get.

Step one.
C = Carbon
and
H20 = water

Result

HH = hydrogen.
CO = Carbon Monoxide

Step two.
Add a bit more heat and time.

add

CO = carbon monoxide
and
HH= hydrogen

get
CH4 = Methane
and
C02

step 3
add heat and time...
CH4 = Methane
plus
C = carbon
plus
HH= hydrogen

you get

Chained Hydrocarbons... or OIL.




Hydrocarbons are quite plentiful in the universe. Do you suggest they are all from biologic processes?

P.S. to the OP. This is no hidden tech. It's 150 year old "technology".
