♛Coal Water Slurry(CWS): pulverized coal with 30-50% water, major emission
reduction of CWS vs coal: Thermal efficiency increases about 20% from regular coal
while fuel volume itself also increases: Easy storage & transferability. Plus CWS beats
diesel/heavy oil competition with much lower price: potential to entirely replace it if
modified engine is introduced(eg DICE: Direct Injection Carbon Engine), Almost
equalling heavy oil on thermal efficiency at current tech level, emission wise PM is
higher but SOx/NOx is lower. Not exclusive but one of effective ways to utilize often
unrecovered fine coal or coal sludge, to turn environmental hazard into revenue: "free
energy"、
• There is a significant geopolitical strategic implications in not spreading this
mainstream approved relatively simple low tech: about half of global conventional
hydrocarbon reserve is coal(as WM idea), and stock is available evenly world wide:
• This concept happens to at least partially match with a few leading Western policy
think tank's philosophy since 1970s: Stifling already lowest cost coal utilization(by
scientific & enviro-political methods) had effectively established the base for energy
shortage, but propagation of CWS seriously risks energy non-shortage/non-crisis/
regional stability: strategic war or export sanction against few nations will be made
