but coal to ethylene glycol process emits 2–3 T CO2 per T of ethylene glycol, but I don't see clear data on how this computes to T CO2 / T coal. We can assume that the chemical production processes in China, burning 15% - 20% of the nation's coal, is producing at least 1/2 that % of GHG / more
Which would imply at most a 7% - 10% tweak to the GHG damage costs. New processes might do better but are likely to be subsumed by oil-to-chemicals processes. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The development of carbon neutrality technology for the coal-based chemical industry is of great interest to many coal-rich countries. An improved coa…
How does this compare to the emmisions from wars and killing machines? I ask, because the IPCC, explicitly excludes them from calculations.
