Combining our plentiful coal resources with domestically-sourced feedstocks, Accelergy’s Coal-Biomass-to-Liquids (CBTL) process offers a cleaner fuel resource that reduces U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Consider these facts about CBTL:

• Abundant Supply: There is more than 250 billion tons of recoverable U.S. coal reserves -- equivalent to an estimated 800 billion barrels of oil, compared to Saudi Arabia's proven reserves of 260 billion barrels. (Source: National Mining Association)


• Environmental Benefits: Combining the Coal-to-Liquids (CTL) and Biomass-to-Liquids (BTL) processes, Accelergy removes 20% of the CO₂ emissions associated with standard refining methods, resulting in cleaner fuels that reduce nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions and enabling use of higher efficiency engines.


• Reliable Sources: Coal currently provides more than half of the nation's electricity and is the largest single source of overall domestic energy production at more than 31% of the total, according to the National Mining Association. Additionally, our feedstocks can be grown domestically on land deemed unsuitable for food crop cultivation.
