Saya nggak sempet belajar lagi, tapi untuk melihat teknologi yang
sekarang sudah siap komersial seperti halnya teknologi sasol di afrika
yang juga telah kita kunjungi, jadi kita lagi melihat teknologi mana
yang dapat kita aplikasikan, kalau sekarang baru belajar untuk membuat
teknologi pencairan berdasarkan teknologi sasol kita akan ketinggalan,
teknologi jepang juga telah tersedia untuk jenis batubara low rank,
masalahnya investor untuk melakukan pencairan di indonesia dengan
teknologi yang ada tersebut belum ada yang mau, karena belum ada jaminan
regulasi yang jelas, terutama jaminan pasokan batubara untuk perusahaan
nontambang yang hanya ingin melakukan proses pencairan, sedangkan untuk
perusahaan tambang batubara sistem perijinan akan menyangkut regim
tambang(batubara) dan regim migas pada proses konversi menjadi cair,
dalam hal ini menyangkut kewajiban perpajakan dan non pajak, sedangkan
setelah menjadi cair jelas harus mengikuti aturan regim migas, salam
baut teman2 di jkt, wass wr wb

Di, rasanya anda ngerti bener soal ini kan sudah belajar di Beijing
tempo hari, sok atuh sharing di IAGI net. Biar rame dan pengetahuannya
nyebar.

Kalau Amerika Serikat saja mau belajar kepada Sasol , mengapa kita
tidak ????
Tapi ngomong ngomong , ada yang tahu prinsip teknologi-nya ?

What The U.S. Can Learn From Sasol
The company makes liquid fuel from coal, not Mideast oil. And its
margins are huge
Some 90 miles southeast of Johannesburg, the cooling towers and pipes of
a giant industrial installation sprawl across five square miles. What
happens at Secunda, as the place is known, is of great interest these
days. At a time of sky-high oil prices, Sasol Ltd. (SSL ), Secunda's
owner, churns out 160,000 barrels of gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel
a day, enough to cover 28% of South Africa's needs, without using a
single drop of crude oil, imported or otherwise.
Sasol is not a household name, but maybe it should be. President George
W.
Bush wants to curb America's dependence on Middle East oil. Analysts
worry about a future gap between supplies and relentless demand. Yet
Sasol, with
$11.2 billion in revenues, is already enjoying huge commercial success
in an arena that has eluded U.S. companies -- making fuel from coal. It
is embarking on a program to brew clean-burning diesel from natural gas.
It may even link up with coal producers in the U.S. heartland. "What is
coming out of the U.S. makes us think there is a real business
opportunity for us," says Sasol CEO Pat Davies.
No wonder investors have boosted Sasol's New York Stock Exchange-traded
shares by almost 60% in a year, to 34. "You have to tip your hat to
them,"
says Bernard J. Picchi of New York's Foresight Research Solutions LLC.
"They've been doing [synfuels] longer than anyone else."
Sasol's technology for making gasoline from coal is named
Fischer-Tropsch, after the Germans who developed it in the 1920s. The
Third Reich used the process -- which employs heat, pressure, and
catalysts to transform carbon monoxide and hydrogen into fuels -- to
make diesel during World War II.
Similarly, South Africa's apartheid regime employed it to ease the
effects of the embargo in the '80s. Sasol has spent decades refining the
technology and now has a money-spinner. Assuming oil prices stay in
their current range, synfuels alone should earn Sasol $2 billion in
operating profits for the year ending June 30, 2006, says Picchi. The
fat profits have prompted some South African policymakers to call for a
windfall tax on Sasol, a development that recently affected the stock.
GOING ON THE ROAD
Sasol is supplementing its home operations with overseas ventures. The
first to come online will be gas-to-liquids <(SK>gtl) plants in Qatar
and Nigeria. GTL plants use a version of the coal-to-liquids technology
to make liquid fuels and petrochemicals from natural gas, which Qatar
has in abundance. The Qatar plant will eventually produce 34,000 barrels
a day of super-clean diesel fuel and other products for Europe. Sasol is
also allying its GTL technology with Chevron's (CVX ) exploration and
production skills. The two are building a facility at Escravos, Nigeria,
and planning another plant in Qatar.
One drawback: cost. Building a GTL plant can cost $40,000 per daily
barrel of capacity vs. $15,000 for a conventional oil refinery. But by
Sasol figures, the company can still make $30 a barrel if it gets
low-cost gas feedstock and crude stays fairly high. Picchi figures Sasol
will be getting gas in Qatar and Nigeria at the equivalent of $5 to $10
for a barrel of oil. He sees Sasol earning $350 million per year from
those ventures.
Making money out of coal-to-liquids is tougher, since the plants cost
more. Nonetheless, coal-rich Pennsylvania has assembled a package of
federal and state funding that comes close to the $625 million estimated
price tag of a pilot project. The facility, to make diesel from waste
coal, would use technology from Royal Dutch Shell (RD ) and Sasol.
Davies thinks such projects could be viable in the U.S. with oil prices
at $40 a barrel with "the right incentives." Even so, Sasol would have
to overcome concerns about CO2 emissions. Davies figures that by the
time Sasol invests in the U.S., its "processes will meet environmental
regulations." The hurdles are high. But Sasol has a technology that
every energy-hungry country wants to tap.
