Synthetic gas make from coal.

• ‘Artificial leaf’ successfully produces clean gas
  From Techxplore by University of Cambridge A widely-used gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be made by an ‘artificial leaf’ that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and which could eventually be used to...
• Cambridge Scientists are Brewing ‘Green Gasoline’ from Air, Water and Sunlight
  A team from the University of Cambridge is attempting to mimic a natural process perfected over billions of years to create 'green transport fuel'. The team is capturing solar energy through artificial photosynthetic systems and combining it with water...
• Europe’s TyGRe Project Turns Old Tires Into Energy and Valuable Materials

• Ohio Researchers Unveil Emissions-Free Method of Extracting Energy from Coal
  Researchers at Ohio State University have discovered a new way to extract energy from coal while preventing 99 percent of the carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere...
• Solar Machine Mimics Plants to Transform CO2 Into Fuel
  Plants have long harnessed sunlight to create ‘food’ for themselves, and now a joint American and Swiss team have created a device that can duplicate the process! The team recently unveiled their prototype, which uses captured sunlight and...
• Sundrop Fuels Uses Concentrated Solar Heat to Vaporize Biomass
  The technology sounds ultra-futuristic: concentrated solar heat that can vaporize biomass (wood, crop waste, etc.) into synthetic fuels. But the process, developed by Sundrop Fuels, is real, and it can produce twice the amount of gasoline or diesel than...
