The team were key members of ExxonMobil efforts to develop advanced technologies for the conversion of natural gas and coal into fuel and chemical products. The Exxon Donor Solvent coal liquefaction, the Microcatalytic Coal Liquefaction (MCL), and the AGC-21 natural gas to Fischer=Tropsch processes were developed to Technical Readiness at a total cost of over $2 billion. Team members are responsible for nearly 200 patents obtained on these processes.

C2XX is now focused on the commercial application of MCL. Recently approved and pending patents are estimated to produce an after-tax return of 25% without net CO₂ emissions. If applied to U.S. proven coal reserves, this would produce over 750 billion barrels of oil, or more than the combined proven oil reserves of Alberta, Venezuela, and the U.S.
