Based ontheresourcesrealityof China, this paper put forward the assumption of developingLSAfuel (or liquidsynthetic ammonia), andhascompared LSA withhydrocarbonfuelandthe hydrogenenergy.
In the 1970s and 1980s the federal government poured billions of dollars into the Synthetic Fuels Corporation to develop liquid and gas fuel from coal, and into the fast-breeder nuclear reactor.
Gasification of coal offers the potential to turn dirty burning hydrocarbons into cleaner burning liquid fuels, such as synthetic natural gas, jet fuel and gasoline, as well as hydrogen for fuel cell use, a developing field.
