method,

There are two processes of pro-, duction in the field-hydrogena- tion and low temperature distilla- tion.

Hydrogenation is the combina tion of hydrogen, with bituminous coal under great pressure and hont to obtain hydrocarbons, Le., petrol spirit. It yields little in the way of by-products,

Low temperature distillation is a baking process which yields not onfy oil" but coke and creosote in great quantities as by-products.

COSTS OF PRODUCTION. The hydrogenation process is receiving great attention because It is the one adopted by Imperial Chemien! Industries, which has spent large sums of money in experiments at its plant at Billing- ham-on-Tees. Aeroplane and motor-car tests have proved con- clusively the high quality of the petrol produced there and at other hydrogenation plants.

What of the costs of production? Prior to the latest improvements in the process of hydrogenation, it ́wns calculated that this procesa would; produce petrol af 9d a gallon, if a minimum of 200,000 tona were made, the price including a reason- able rate of interest for the capital employed. In the production of 200,000 tons of petrol 800,000 tons of coat would be consumed. Em- ployment would be given to 5,000

men.

These figures cover only a very small percentage of our annual petrol requirements. If they could: fall he met by nationally produced

coal-petrol at least 100,000 men | would find employment in the new industry.
