You are cryptic sod, FG, and we (Squeers and I) are a little slow converting your meaning. We had the gist of it before but ungenerously, and ingenuously, attributed the "char char" to poor spelling. Thanks for the extra help.
Howsoever, we did object partially to your entrepreneurial and innovative proposition by observing that this lucrative new venture could be run in tandem with a more ascetic lifestyle. To which we may now add that the technology must, of course, needs be a clean process in terms of emissions.
Those two requirements satisfied--that we flay ourselves into a state of renunciation and modesty, and that we accomplish this industrial-scale alchemy without polluting by-products--it would seem to be exceeding stupidity to be freighting cheap, unrefined coal around the world for it to be converted into its equivalent in noxious gases. Another example of the clever country's impatience for a fast buck!

What do the resident experts say then to Master Gumpp's world saving plan?

Of course for myself, I still object that more ethical strictures might also be imposed upon the world at large, a neo-puritanism, as a condition attached to Australia's saving it.
But then, we still have the problem of pollution concomitant with burning our liquid-fuel derivative, for which I might suggest a solution. Since this product is essentially the same material, once converted into gas, I don't see why it couldn't be reconstituted, decocted if you like, into cultured diamonds which might be collected harmlessly as emission and used as road base?
How now!

Squeers, didn't you promise you had something better to do, about 10 pages ago.

Only an arrogant fool, or someone with a buck to be made from it, could prattle on about AGW today. There is so much to disprove it, & discredit its promoters that no thinking person could believe in it still.

I am of course aware you are right about peak oil, just wrong with your timing. Are you one of those who promised we would be back to horse & cart transport by the mid 80s, or you a johnny come lately on this one? Sooner or later the peak will come. If you live long enough, you may be proved right, but not just yet.

What ever, such ill conceived twaddle becomes tiresome.

*it would seem to be exceeding stupidity to be freighting cheap, unrefined coal around the world for it to be converted into its equivalent in noxious gases. Another example of the clever country's impatience for a fast buck!*

Er Squeers, whoever claimed that we were the clever country?
We ship out coal to pay the bills, so that people like you can
afford to have a brood of children in comfort.

Bio char seems to have a future. It would be great for Australian
agriculture if it works out ok. So let some entrepreneur with
spare cash make it happen. I'll buy it if its cost effective for
agriculture.
