Here is a more efficient process to convert coal and other carbon feedstocks to synthetic fuels. It is a tandem catalytic system to create a more efficient Fischer-Tropsch process. This process, called Tandem Catalytic Process is developed by researchers at Rutgers and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
This new chemical process includes two-steps that convert some of the byproducts, left s waste, into usable fuels. With the help of the new catalysts all undesirable medium-weight substances are taken and converted to useful higher and lower-weight products. With it, one can get economic in generating productive, clean-burning fuels.
