Water is super heated via helium gas loop with a nuclear reactor ( this is a 100% efficient step), the super heated & super pressurized steam is passed through the Ceramatec Electrolysis membrains at 830 degrees C, the water is split into hydrogen and oxygen (a 100% efficient step), the high pressure and high temperature hydrogen is used to catalytically hydrogenate a ground coal and coal oil slurry (a very high conversion rate of liqufaction is acheived for producing aromatic & alphatic compounds of gasoline and kerosene needed is aviation fuels), the high pressure and temperature oxygen is used to burn coal in a parallel process in a syn gas/water gas shift/FT process (a 60% conversion rate of coal liqufaction is acheived for producing alphatic compounds, the waste 40% CO2 is processed through an alge farm to produce high quality tri-glycerides based fuels, this process is the most thermodynamically efficient process for the liqufaction of coal into useful fuels, acheiving a near 100% coal carbon conversion into useful fuels.
