Bergius did attempt to establish a commercial hydrogenization facility at Rheinau during the period of 1915 to 1918, but technical start-up issues, along with Germany obtaining access to the Romanian oil fields resulted in minimizing the importance of converting coal to petroleum.
In "Coal in Your Car's Tank," an article in the June 9 issue of THE NEW AMERICAN, science writer Ed Hiserodt described a more ambitious (and cleaner) way to derive energy from coal, turning it into liquid fuel using the proven direct liquefaction process developed by Nobel Laureate Friedrich Bergius.
Bergius discussed Allied Distillers' malt collection and how the environment in which the products are created lend the Scotches their deep flavors.
