A Capture Carbon Storage (CCS) Process for the economical capture of carbon dioxide from coal fuel gas, and the storage of the carbon dioxide as lipid oil or the use of the environmentally begin oil for transportation. The lipid oil may be refined into gasoline, biodiesel fuel, jet fuel, ethanol, and methane which provide a renewable energy resource for the United State's future energy needs. It is a new fuel form which has been both chemically and physically altered to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. It is a coal cleaning/upgrading process which produces a refined fuel, Hydrogen, that may be used to produce electricity and an environmentally begin biofuel for transportation. The renewable fuel will produce no carbon foot print at the internal combustion engine's exhaust pipe. The CCS Process will produce a 100% reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere and thereby, stop the Global Warming.

1. A process of capture carbon and storage (CCS Process) by removing the carbon from coal by coking and gasifying solid coke to produce hydrogen gas, Substitute Natural Gas (SNG), Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) and Synfuels of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the process which comprises: a. indirectly heating or baking the coal in an air free atmosphere, wherein lighter constituents are volatilized and heavier hydrocarbons crack thereby liberating hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide forming a first gas stream, and a residue of a gray hard porous carbon in the form of solid coke;b. the gasification of the solid coke of step a by passing high pressure steam with oxygen from an air separation plant through a hot coke bed comprising the solid coke whose temperature is maintained by partial oxidation of the solid coke in the hot coke bed, and thereby producing hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide gases forming a second gas stream;c. combining and conditioning the two gas streams of step a and step b to form a single gas stream and increasing three times the production amount of hydrogen gas from the solid coke of step a;d. cooling and removing solid particulate from the hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane gases of the single stream in step c;e. adjusting the volume ratio of carbon monoxide to hydrogen gases in step d to a 3 to 1 ratio in a shift catalytic reactor with a gas bypass control;f. the hydrogen and carbon monoxide gases of the single stream of step d. enter a methanation unit where said gases are converted to high purity methane;g. removing the carbon dioxide from the single gas stream in step e by an acid gas separation process;h. the hydrogen gas is produced directly by steam reforming of the high purity methane gas of step f over a nickel catalyst into hydrogen and carbon monoxide or synfuel;i. the carbon monoxide of step f is shifted to carbon dioxide and removed by a bulk gas separator comprising a Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA), thereby leaving pure 100% hydrogen gas;j. the gaseous hydrogen of step h is converted to a liquid with a liquid nitrogen refrigerant from an air separation plant to form cooled compressed hydrogen gas and then pressure reduction of said cooled compressed hydrogen gas is carried out with a Joules-Thompson valve;k. the liquid hydrogen of step j is sent by pipeline to an electrical power plant's steam boiler for combustion;l. providing algae ponds and allowing sunlight or solar energy, the carbon dioxide from step g and step i, nutrients, and water to react in the algae ponds thereby, causing growth of the algae lipid oil;m. the carbon dioxide from step g and step l, is further injected into the ponds with a contactor or absorber tower having an irrigated packed bed of intalox saddles and illuminated with artificial sunlight, for efficient and maximum growth yield of the algae lipid oil;n. sending the algae of step l to environmental stress ponds and withholding nutrients, nitrogen and silicon, to increase the production yield of the algae lipid oil;o. harvesting the algae from the environmental stress ponds of step n and transferring the algae to clarifiers which act as a product flow accumulator and further serve as the first stage of dewatering;p. further dewatering the algae of step o by centrifuging for substantial water removal;q. recovered water of step o and step p is drained from the clarifiers and centrifuge sumps to the main water sump and recirculated by pump to a water filtration unit where the water has nutrients, and make-up water is added and blow down water removed;r. harvesting crude lipid oil from de-watered algae shells of step p by chemical extraction;s. refining the crude lipid oil of step r for conversion into gasoline, biodiesel, jet fuel, methane, and ethanol at oil refineries and the storage of the biofuels;t. the crude lipid oil of step r is fed back into a hydrogen fired electric generation power plant as an alternative for combustion in a dual fired fuel burner; andu. disposing of spent de-watered algae shells of step r by anaerobic digestion. 2. The process of claim 1, wherein the CCS Process is carried out in a facility remotely located from coal fired power generation plants, and networked together through hydrogen pipe lines to distribute hydrogen fuel as either a liquid or gas. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the hydrogen fired electric generation power plant of step t requires no bag house, electric precipitators, NOx reduction units, or sulfur scrubbers to produce zero emissions in the stack gas. 4. The process of claim 1, wherein the coal of step a) is dirty coal and the process converts the dirty coal into clean hydrogen.
