Thanks robin Your correct. Good black coal can be 80% carbon 20%
hydrogen. In clean burning coal the CO2 reaction is a big part of the
energy but if CO2 is chilled and sequested you loose most of that energy
and all that counts is the energy output of the hydrogen. That's why the

I'm looking at a better way to win the Branson-Gore prize and make a
profit into the bargain. If it works we'll be richer than both.
Turn the coal and lots of alga into *carbon fibre*: billions of tons of
it. The process should be profitable if we can crack the chemistry.

Hi,

Most of the energy in coal is in the hydrogen bonds not the
carbon to carbon bonds.

There is very little hydrogen in coal (much more in oil), so I think you need to
prove this point Wesley. Furthermore, even
