I'm somewhat suprised no one has mentioned the possibilities of using synthetic coal to power modern steam or steam/traction hybrid locomotives. Synthetic coals are manufactured by either mechanical or chemical removal of the ash and other impurities, leaving a nearly pure carbon product of around 12,000 Btu/lb. Using such a product would eliminate many of the problems of using coal in modern engines, with no need for post-combustion flue gas clean up or waste product removal on the locomotive itself. If interested, examples of synthetic coal products/concepts can be found on the following links: www.cenfuelfpu.com/index.html www.lanl.gov/projects/cctc/factsheets/rsbud/adcconvdemo.html
