Carbon dioxide is normally used. However, methane CAN be a side product of the Fischer-Tropsch process used to produce synthetic liquid fuels. This process involves the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide.

The Sasol Synthol process for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis used at petroSA uses an iron based catalyst. More recently, the development of a slurry-bed reactor at the Mossel Bay plant has resulted in the use of a cobalt based catalyst.

We can burn it to release its energy or use some chemical reactions to turn it into hydro-carbon fuels, called the "Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis".
1 answer
Carbon monoxide can be used as a fuel for inndustrial operations, its used in Fischer-Tropsch process, and as a reducing agent (For example, when it passes over hot iron oxides, the oxides are reduced to metallic iron, and the carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide.)

Emil Fischer discovered the lock and key model of enzyme-substrate interaction, elucidated the structures of sugars and purines, and synthesized the first artificial peptide. He also developed methods for the synthesis of many important organic compounds and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1902 for his work on sugar and purine synthesis.

Sasol is the South African oil company that has established the only commercially proven 'oil from coal' operations in the world. They use the Fischer-Tropsch process to convert coal into liquid fuels.

Coal can be converted into gas through a process called gasification, which involves heating coal at high temperatures in the presence of oxygen to produce a synthetic gas (syngas) containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen. This syngas can then be further processed to produce liquid fuels through a process called Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, which involves chemically converting the syngas into liquid hydrocarbons like diesel and gasoline.

Sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst in the Fischer esterification process, facilitating the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol to form an ester. It helps in protonating the carbonyl group of the carboxylic acid, making it more reactive towards the alcohol, leading to the formation of the ester.

1 answer
Syngas, or synthesis gas, is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen produced by the gasification or reforming of carbon-containing materials such as coal, natural gas, or biomass. It is used as a feedstock in the production of chemicals, fuels, and electricity through processes like the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
